You have to be willing to be a fool to advance.
When you're learning anything new, you'll feel like an imposter.
That's a very useful thing to know. You'll feel like a fool because you are. And you'll think, โI'll never get thereโ.
The destination might look very distant, but if you take a small first step and get the ball rolling, you can cruise along at a pretty good rate.
What happens when you expose people to small but challenging tasks is:
1. It makes them more skilled because now they're dealing with the problem. They're acquiring new perceptions and new behaviors that are mastery.
2. They see themselves as actors who can change the direction of their lives.
I've never seen anyone unable to progress if they made the task small enough.
That can be pretty humiliating. But the upside is that once you've taken that first step, you'll start progressing exponentially.
If you're not willing to be a fool, you cannot become a master.
Sorry I don't post on here much anymore. I pretty much keep all of my posts on my @TheMultiMom page, but I created this account so that I could find and follow more farm pages, homesteading pages, and conservative pages, so that's why I still lurk around on here LOL
An old tired-looking dog wanders into a guy's yard. He examines the dog's collar and feels his well-fed belly and knows the dog has a home.
The dog follows him into the house, goes down the hall, jumps on the couch, gets comfortable and falls asleep. The man thinks its rather odd, but lets him sleep. After about an hour the dog wakes up, walks to the door and the guy lets him out. The dog wags his tale and leaves.
The next day the dog comes back and scratches at the door. The guy opens the door, the dog comes in, goes down the hall, jumps on the couch, gets comfortable and falls asleep again. The man lets him sleep. After about an hour the dog wakes up, walks to the door and the guy lets him out. The dog wags his tale and leaves.
This goes on for days. The guy grows really curious, so he pins a note on the dog's collar: "Your dog has been taking a nap at my house every day."
The next day the dog arrives with another note pinned to his collar: "He lives in a home with four children -- he's trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?'

This is what I mean by owning up to what you are and embracing the diversity of it. You do you, but you cannot change the definition of a woman or man. Being a woman isn't just makeup, boobs, hair, and fashion. It's having a uterus, growing a baby, no matter your preferences.
In the past, I would normally leave this stuff off Twitter, but this year is different. You can't change the meaning of a woman to be anyone who THINKS they are a woman, or they IDENTIFY as a woman. A woman has different chromosomes, and was born with a uterus. It's that simple.
