I finally understand what Machiavelli meant when he said, “Never play fair in a game where others cheat.” It doesn’t mean become evil. It means stop being naive. Stop bringing honesty to people who study manipulation, stop giving access to people who weaponize closeness, and stop expecting clean hands from people who already showed you they’ll throw dirt. Sometimes wisdom is not revenge. Sometimes wisdom is learning the rules of the room before the room uses your goodness against you.
I once heard this: if someone says something that offends you while you’re right there, just look at them silently for about a minute. Then say, “That’s something I’d expect you to say.” And walk away. Let me tell you, I’ve done this twice before. You could literally see the blood drain from their face. This is and will always be my go-to. It costs me zero energy.
Most women talk about healing but run from their shadow. Feminine shadow work is ugly. It’s facing the jealous parts, the angry parts, the manipulative parts you pretend don’t exist. You can’t embody your power until you stop hiding from yourself. Integrate the dark and the light. That’s how you become whole.
MICHAEL crossed the $800M mark at the global box office this Tuesday.
It’s tracking to become the highest-grossing biopic of all time, surpassing OPPENHEIMER.
May God surround you with divine protection, bless you with uncommon grace, grant you good health, and strengthen you for every challenge ahead. Amen🙏🏾
