Don’t go broke during the holidays.
If your family does a gift exchange and your money isn’t right, respectfully decline.
If you have kids and your money isn’t right, get creative with activities or a game night.
Don’t let your pride and the holidays destroy your pockets.
UNPOPULAR OPINION: People are NOT showing off… they’re sharing their happy moments and achievements. You’re looking at it from a jealous point of view because where you are in life isn’t where you want to be. Plain and simple.
Once you learn that people will bait you with disrespect and when you match their energy they’ll play victim and try to convince others you’re the aggressor…. You just gotta start letting people have it. Let them win the battle, but you gotta win the war. A battle is short term, the war is longer.
As a man I’m learning this too. Takes restraint and discipline.
Idc how hard the devil working, imma remain positive, stand tall and keep going. Eliminate all negativity and distractions. If you want to prove the devil wrong… ignore em and keep going. The Most High rewards a stubborn heart.
