1. If someone can't tell you their flaws, they have a dangerous lack of self-awareness

2. The best revenge is getting yourself to a place where you no longer care about revenge. In other words, to get massive success.

3. Self-respect comes from self-control.

You'll never respect yourself if you're a slave to people pleasing and external validation.

4. Don't let your time and energy leak from social media,overthinking and meaningless relationships.

5.If you always think your happiness is somewhere else, it'll never be where you are.

If you want to counter-argument or start a discussion about any of the above quotes please feel free to reply.🙃

Have a great day.❤💗

Hi City! 😊❤️ Thank you so very much for this amazing forum post! Well said and beautifully written! Clearly, I am *part of your tribe*. You and I are of the same mindset.

I really have to commend you for getting to this point in your life of understanding and knowing these truths. ❤️ These are truths, tenants, thoughts, feelings that I hold very close to my heart. For me, this was a big "Wow" moment to see someone create this forum post and articulate these concepts and so wonderfully.

Thank you for validating me and my feelings today by sharing of yourself! ❤️ This has been a true gift to me today, my friend and I really cannot thank you enough! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with everyone else on 7 cups today as well! I wish everyone that might be hurting, anyone that has ever been hurt, would have the opportunity to read what it is that you have just said!

*bows in front of greatness*

*high fives* 😊 and big *hugs* ❤️

The best revenge is empathy and understanding - why DID that person felt the need to mistreat you in the first place? Can you help them understand themselves?

Self awareness comes from self understanding. First be gentle on your faults and then learn to love others with all their faults as well. We are all human beings.

@hardworkingCity5776 your emotions and feelings are out own responsibility.

@hardworkingCity5776 thank you for posting your ideas to prompt discussion.

I agree that happiness has to start within before I can expect to find it ouside. Expecting someone or something outside to make me happy has not worked in the long run for me.

Happiness truly does come from within. Our thoughts and words that we think and speak over ourselves have tremendous power.

If someone can't tell you their flaws they just don't think about them, if they do they feel inadequate. When a person realizes their innate qualities all imperfections are just shallow thoughts created by an image. This image is a standard and these standards are created by comparison to others in the wrong way, not to see what's they have in common. When you compare to observe commonalities you see we all have perfect innate qualities that are covered up by notions and expectations as to how one should be.


There is no revenge one can seek that is not a result of conceit. Realize the origin of feeling for the need to have revenge and there would be no revenge to care about. It would dissipate as an illusion casted by hatred and through inner observation ones awareness is bound to grow. Awareness eradicates illusion, this includes a separate object to project hatred upon.

@hardworkingCity5776 response to #1. “ 1. If someone can't tell you their flaws, they have a dangerous lack of self-awareness”

That assumes they want to tell you their flaws. If they are not ready to share that information, there is no evidence they have a lack of self awareness.

Your other points seemed good though.
