Thoughts from the journey..

[Hari Edwards @R1anextdoor]

Next time someone disagrees with you, ask:

Am I a river: curious, flowing, able to hold their truth alongside mine?

Or am I a fortress: Defensive, cracking, terrified that their truth might undo me?

[Hari Edwards @R1anextdoor]

A strategy becomes manipulation when the outcome matters more than the other person's autonomy.

[Hari Edwards @R1anextdoor]

It is indeed

[Alberto @TerungwaAdo]

@R1anextdoor Spot on. In their head, it’s not manipulation, it’s "survival" and "outsmarting" everyone else. Delusion is a powerful engine.

[Hari Edwards @R1anextdoor]

Manipulation is influencing or controlling a person or situation to produce a desired outcome, through unfair, deceptive, covert, or self-serving means.

The major difference between influence and manipulation is "Deception"

[Hari Edwards @R1anextdoor]

@TerungwaAdo I genuinely believe a small percentage of manipulative people actually know what they’re doing.

Most don’t, they see it as wisdom.

[Hari Edwards @R1anextdoor]

Do manipulative people actually know they’re being manipulative?

[Hari Edwards @R1anextdoor]

@MyHeartcode Fasting and Meal substitution

[Alberto @TerungwaAdo]

Being selective about who gets your energy is self care.

[Hari Edwards @R1anextdoor]

Your morning reminder:
You are allowed to outgrow the version of you that learned to survive by pleasing everyon

Good morning fam

@Finian89 Sometimes its a learned response for people to get their way, and see it as being wise

[Hari Edwards @R1anextdoor]

@itsjust_daniell Yea, I think most times they believe they are the only ones who know what they are doing

[Hari Edwards @R1anextdoor]

I realised you can understand your childhood. Understand your attachment style. Understand your triggers. Understand your defense mechanisms.

And still repeat the same patterns.

Self-awareness gives you the map.
But healing requires Intentionality

Fact📌

[Ada🌸 @Starrgirl_Ada]

If I ever let you put your mouth on my drink or bite from my food, don’t ever question my love for you

[Hari Edwards @R1anextdoor]

You don't know when it will be, give your best always, so you dont live in regrets

[Alberto @TerungwaAdo]

My mom once said,

"Everyone in your life will have a last day with you and you don't even know when it will be."

I literally felt that.

[Hari Edwards @R1anextdoor]

@AsaabaCharlotte Priscilla

[Hari Edwards @R1anextdoor]

One of the highest forms of intelligence is realizing that your thoughts are not laws.

Just because you’ve thought something for years, felt it deeply, or learned it from the people around you doesn’t make it true.

Question your mind.

Good morning fam

[Hari Edwards @R1anextdoor]

@SamInn0cent @ProphetJoelO @ration_ng Ideas are a dime a dozen

[Hari Edwards @R1anextdoor]

Stop waiting to feel motivated.

Motivation comes and goes.

Habits stay.

Your future isn't built by the days you feel inspired.
It's built by the things you do even when you don't.

[Hari Edwards @R1anextdoor]

@Dozzy225 Only when I am sick

[Hari Edwards @R1anextdoor]

You can't shame your brain into changing.
It learns through safety, patience, and consistent practice not self-hatred.
