If you want to change, you have to become conscious of your unconscious patterns. You have to catch yourself in the act of being the old self. And then you have to choose differently. Not once. A thousand times. Until the new choice becomes the new default.
Keep your problems smaller than your life. A flat tire is a flat tire. A bad meeting is a bad meeting. A canceled flight is just an extra two hours. These things become catastrophes when you let them. But they stay manageable when you remember the depth of your real life- the people you love, the work you care about, the beautiful years still ahead. Zoom out. Fit your reaction to the size of the problem.

The bank approving you for R2 million doesn't mean you can afford R2 million.
It means they're confident they'll get their money back. Those are two very different things.
Affordability is what's left of your life after the instalment, not what the bank says yes to. What's the biggest loan a bank has tried to talk you into?
Well, @ParliamentofRSA has once again called for public inputs on possible constitutional amendments.
For those who may not know, the Constitution itself allows for amendments through Section 74. In other words, the Constitution was designed to be amended where Parliament and the people believe change is necessary.
Parliament is currently receiving legal opinions on submissions made during the previous Constitutional Review process, including SACR's submission. We therefore hope Parliament will also provide South Africans with feedback on the outcome of that process and explain how those submissions were considered.
As we did before, we the people of South Africa will once again make our voices heard by participating in this process.
I will share the submission link and further details soon.
Public participation should not end when submissions are sent. Citizens deserve to know what happens next.

You cannot spend years breaking a child's spirit and then expect a few words in adulthood to repair what took years to destroy. You cannot teach a child to fear your footsteps, your voice, your moods, and your anger, then expect them to see you as a source of comfort later in life.
It's funny how women on here recognize women are terrible bosses, terrible friends to vacation with and terrible customers but the idea that they are terrible to date is unfathomable
There is no greater illusion than thinking the accomplishment of some goal will change your life. What will change your life is the person you become in the process of going for it.
Make your voice heard on the ZEP/LEP matter.
