Pretty much all of your problems are caused by something you have control over. If you saw what I saw everyday.. you'd get that.

I'm a hairdresser. I see people all day, talking and telling me about their lives, because I'm a safe space. Every single thing that causes somebody something so hard it brings them to tears is something they have control over.<br><br>The woman who made a mistake at work is suicidal. She has the ability to quit her job.<br>The dad who is stuck inside and can't play with his kids because of work is distraught and hating himself. He has the option to change jobs or find a way to work less hours.<br>The thin woman who is anorexic and will starve herself to nothing is completely in control of her food intake and can seek help.<br>The mom who is so exhausted from work she can't do anything is fully capable of making better choices.<br>The woman who is devastated because her husband cheated, can leave him.<br>The woman who is being abused can leave. <br>The woman crying because her partner asked her to stop drinking is fully in control and can get help for herself.<br>The guy who I had to turn away because he was clearly high and smelled like weed... is an addict. Poor guy.<br><br>Every single day, I am faced with the reality that most people don't know how to make rational decisions. Most people are on autopilot and are just.. existing. I could cry everyday for this type of constant thing. It's so.. sad.<br><br>What can YOU change in your life? What choices are YOU making today that will ensure a better tomorrow? Do you know how much satisfaction and contentment you'll feel if you just DO BETTER?<br><br>It's not always easy being a hairdresser because I have to watch the suffering of so many people on a daily basis. But I'm sure as hell grateful that I had my shit together when my husband cheated on me multiple times, and I simply left him.<br><br>People, you have the ability to make better choices. You have so much control over everything in your life but you simply don't see it.
