A friend’s dad once told me something. He was a very wealthy man, and he said:

“The problem isn’t that you can’t succeed. The problem is that you underestimate yourself and what you’re capable of. How far you go in life depends on how much you believe in yourself and your abilities.”

That day, I started seeing myself differently.

In order to bring back love letters, we must first bring back the real lovers, and in order to bring back the real lovers, we must bring back emotional intelligence, kindness, empathy, and consideration.

Yesterday I told my therapist I couldn't move on.

She handed me a journal and said,

“If someone's no longer in your life but still takes up space in your thoughts, these 10 questions will help you understand why your heart keeps going back to a chapter that has already ended.”

Here they are: 1/2

I love seeing tweets about the research and the researcher. It is warming my heart. However, some of your research is deeply scary 😧. I’ve seen words I’ve never come across in my life. I was today years old when I learned about scaro what what cells in metabolism I don’t know 😂

[khaleesi🧍🏽‍♀️ @shelovesore]

Sooo, I found out about another interesting psychological phenomenon today, and it’s really crazy how weird the brain is, and I’m lowkey wondering why i didn’t study psychology in the first place

Anyways, it is the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon and some people call it the frequency illusion. This is also going to be a thread again😭

Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga cv incase you don’t know him .

What a great man 🥹
#MadlangaCommission

[Fix Your CV With Me @_Bonga]

I need a Youtube channel that can summarise the proceedings at the Madlanga commission and do it well. Sizwe Mpofu and Jamie are not working for me. I genuinely tried but they are not coherent and I can’t tolerate it.

Open to suggestions.

One of the most important reframes you’ll be forced into realizing when the same behaviours and situations keep happening. It’s up to you, and only you, to break the cycle. No one can do it for you. That’s true self care, changing your ways for good. Evolving into a better you.

[Blake Burge @blakeaburge]

Major cheat code for life: Be fully where your feet are. When you're at work, work. When you're with family, be with family. When you're resting, rest. Most people are physically present and mentally everywhere else.

[Mme a Masakona @FloMasebe]

#Dearchild... When a plan has been deeply rooted and long reserved, its manifestation does not require force. It simply ripens when the season is right. Your season is now. 🕯️

[King Dom @enyonvm]

This issue was resolved in 2020.

"You can come if you want" is passive, non-commital, no skin in the game, no yearning, shifts the vulnerability/burden of "wanting"

"I want you to come" is earnest, bears the vulnerability of "wanting", and actively expresses a desire.

[Nonyé Billions, MBA @TheNonye]

Saw a phrase today that said “anything that requires the consent and cooperation of another person, is not a failure if you don’t accomplish it” and honestly I need to look at things with this perspective

[insizwa nsi @AdvKindness]

I’m undergoing a journey of improving my vocabulary and articulation skills. Recommend good books and podcasts that could help please. 🥹🙏🏿

[Karun Pal @karunpal]

You have to be bad at something before you can be good at it. Think. Reflect. Try. Fail. And treat each failure as a lesson. You are growing with every mistake. Your consciousness is evolving with every failure. Do not let your mind think you are failing. You are not.
