Part of accountability is being ok with having to navigate hard times alone. Especially when you are partially complicit in the reason why you’re experiencing hard times

Time to grow up, toughen up, or both.

Plus wanting people to baby you is crazy. We don’t develop like that.

People are not wrong or selfish for refusing to inconvenience themselves to help you through challenges that you are experiencing because of bad decisions you made.

[Rashad Thompson @RashadSurreal]

that was a mouthful so let me say it a different way

If you knowingly make certain decisions that lead to hard times for yourself, why would you get mad at people for not coming to your rescue when you knew there was a high probability your actions would catch up with you?

It’s all supposed to be a continuous process. The richness and potency of it all is found in the “journey”. Not the “arrival” or the “destination”.

@WinfieldDo40077 Well they did make a public announcement that because of the success of the comics, they plan to keep expanding as long as they can. Not that I put much stock in that. We’ve been lied to before. BUT. It’s a start I guess lol

DC’s absolute universe has rekindled something in my passion for reading comics.

It’s Insecurity projection. This is the behavior of people who hate their own situations, lives, or they just hate themselves in general. And at the root of it, the behavior is an intelligence issue.

Don’t allow slow people to stir you up. They’re slow.

A practice to implement when people speak negatively towards or about you and it disturbs you emotionally:

(See replies)

[Rashad Thompson @RashadSurreal]

In most instances you’ll realize that that person is likely not doing well in their own life (comparatively) to even consider speaking on someone else’s. Literally not worthy.

[Rashad Thompson @RashadSurreal]

Too much “woe as me” crybaby, whining, and complaining energy in the world. It is what it is. Do what you gotta do to make the changes you feel need to be made. BUT…. At the same time, we gotta toughen up man.

Most people don’t achieve this because it’s very uncomfortable. IMO if you can challenge that discomfort in yourself, there’s elevation on the other side.

According to neuroscientist the highest form of intelligence is metacognition. In layman’s terms: the ability to think about your own thinking. Self reflection, making adjustments, and limiting emotional reactions based on what you discover about the way your mind works.

[Rashad Thompson @RashadSurreal]

This is why self aware people evolve so much faster than everyone else. Because they have constant awareness updates and upgrades to their own mentalities, mind, and spirit.
