I know it’s unpopular to say but seriously don’t be so empathetic about things that it puts you in the permanent underclass
I understand having a concern, but being so consumed by that concern that you don’t create something for yourself and family is not making things better
The biggest enemies I’ve ever had were those who once had access to me and got the access revoked. People who you no longer allow in your spaces will absolutely- dangerously hate you for your boundaries and elevating your energy.
Critical thinking, systems thinking, discipline, and discernment will really carry you through life. You have to get really good at reading between lines, evaluating surface value info/people, looking around walls, and knowing how + when to see things though.
I made a declaration to myself at 18 that as a woman I would never be broke
I didn’t have all the tools at that time, but I did understand it was going to take some learning and unlearning to create that reality
I’m challenging you to dedicate time to doing the same
You are in control of your life
You are in control of your decisions
You are in control of your finances
You are in control of who you have relationships with
In addition to so many other things…
Control what is within your scope of control
Transform your mindset from:
"Someone should just tell me this"
To
"How can I learn this, and who do I need to connect with to further my understanding on the things I'm not clear on"
Why does everyone else have to give you the best and do the best for you, when you give yourself nothing or minimal effort?
Consider what you do vs what you're asking for
You’re gonna end up being whatever character someone needs in their story anyways. Whatever villain or hero that fits the narrative of their worldview. So you really can’t concern yourself with what they think of you. Better to put that energy towards fully living your life.
