It takes courage to have the difficult conversations with someone you love, but if you love them, you’ll do it because not having the conversation will only negatively impact them in the long run.
It’s not easy to accept tough love but if you realise that, “this person cares about me so much he’s willing to literally argue with me until I change my ways” then you’ll realise that they’re making a huge effort out of love.
It’s much easier to let people destroy themselves, but it’s much harder to be honest with someone and show them a bit of tough love to help them out.
Doing nothing is easy. Doing something is tougher. And having the uncomfortable conversation is even more difficult. But it’s discomfort that helps us grow the most.
A few years ago my house was in a mess after I broke up with my ex girlfriend and my friend told me this and it hurt at the time, but it helped me out in the long run and I’ve realised I was living like a pig.
So I changed my ways.
If no one is using tough love on you. Try practicing it with yourself.
