The Harsh Truth You Need This December, Based On Your Birth Month

January

You are doing yourself a disservice by keeping your emotions locked up inside. You need to let yourself cry. Let yourself feel. Otherwise, you’re never going to start your process of healing. Allowing yourself to be vulnerable is a strength on its own.

February

You can survive on your own. But that doesn’t mean you should. Don’t push away people who are beneficial for you, people who have only shown you kindness and respect. Don’t stubbornly assume that you’re better off without anyone because some people are worth the effort.

March

You can’t keep people close who refuse to respect you and treat you right. Sometimes, walking away is the only option remaining. Sometimes, you have to be the one to put an end to the toxic pattern and walk away.

April

It’s never easy to admit that you were wrong, but it’s necessary if you want to move forward in your friendships and relationships. Don’t be too stubborn to admit the truth, to make an apology, to set things right. You’ll be glad you did in the end.

May

You’re not going to get anything accomplished if you keep second-guessing yourself. It’s okay to have doubts, but you can’t let them control your life. You can’t let your fear overpower your desire for change and growth.

June

You can’t keep procrastinating if you want to lead a happy, successful life. You have to stop making excuses, stop waiting around for inspiration, and do what you need to do. Get it done, even though you don’t feel like it.

July

You can’t play a passive role in your own life and expect to be happy. You need to take action. You need to put yourself out there. You need to take calculated risks and trust that you will be able to navigate fresh waters. You need to believe in yourself for a change.

August

You can’t keep making the same choices and expect different results. If you aren’t happy with the way things are right now, take a look at your situation and figure out what needs to change. The first step toward a happier life is recognizing what is making you unhappy.

September

You can’t fix everything and everyone. You have to let your loved ones make their own mistakes. You have to step back and accept that you don’t have power over others. You only have control over yourself.

October

You can’t keep allowing other people to make decisions for you. They don’t know what’s best for you because they aren’t inside your head. You are the only one who knows what you need, and you should love yourself enough to chase after it instead of trying to make others happy.

November

You aren’t always going to get a second chance or an opportunity to explain yourself. No one owes you their time or attention, especially after you’ve hurt them. Sometimes, you need to accept that a friendship or relationship is over. Don’t worry, there will be more in your future. You aren’t destined to remain alone.

December

You can’t wait forever to make a decision. You need to figure out which path you want to take and start down it. Not making a choice is also a choice — but probably not one that will lead you to ultimate happiness.
