PSA from a dentist’s daughter
A letter to my little boy
I am so happy that you are in my life. I am so sorry that you take after me and have to make everything so hard. I never listened to advice. I have done everything twice. And I still am working at the right way to live in this crazy world.
Life is not easy, it will never be. But I would like you to not fall into the victim trap. Winners take responsibility for their actions. Losers blame others. I understand that assigning blame may seem like a way out, but trust me when I say it is going straight down the rabbit hole.
Blaming others is contrary to survival. Without self awareness we remain unchanged. Look internal and ask yourself what is success in your eyes? What do you want for your life? Whatever it is, focus on that. And then make a plan to succeed.
Surround yourself with things that will make you succeed. Because if you don’t, you will fall into that trap. Make a list of the things that stop you from making that goal. And then stay away from them. With that breather you will find that you will be so happy pursuing what you love.
Create outcomes that lift you up. You have to make yourself happy. Figure out the end goal and stop playing games. Focus on you. You have it all inside your beautiful heart.
