It took me 7 years to learn this

Life lessons worth learning often require time and experience. I struggled for years trying to understand certain harsh realities. But now, I can summarize 4 uncomfortable truths we all must face:

1) Life is unpredictable - fortunes can change in an instant no matter how much we plan and prepare.

2) Life is unfair - bad things happen to good people while some seem to have unlimited luck.

3) Failure and rejection are inevitable - despite our best efforts, we'll experience setbacks.

4) True loneliness is part of the human condition - no one can fully know our inner world.

While hard to accept, embracing these truths allows us to take life as it comes, persevere through hardship, and cherish the connections we do make.

I hope sharing shortcuts to these insights helps you mentally prepare for life's ups and downs. Let's make sense of existence's unpredictability together, finding meaning along our own unique paths.

This video aims to provide perspective quickly, but there are rarely shortcuts to life's greatest lessons. May we all keep learning and growing for years to come.
