Also important, the more you learn to trust yourself, the more you come to realize that you can indeed handle it. Whatever it is, you got it. You have everything you need within your grasp. Trust yourself and your source to show up for you when called upon.
A thing I say that may help y'all, because I'm a recovering overthinker and a lot of y'all are immersed in overthinking:
"The worst thing that can happen is usually either something I won't do or something can't control."
That makes more room for better things to happen
"The worst thing that can happen is usually either something I won't do or something can't control."

Try to condition yourself to assume the best instead of the worst.
I feel like that’s one of the best skills you can master to have a more enjoyable life experience.

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Wars or Trek, LOTR, or Marvel.

Have you ever heard of Reginald F Lewis? Probably not, and I believe that's by design, as Black erasure is endemic in America.
Reginald F Lewis was the first Black person to build a billion dollar company, TLC Beatrice. It was also the first Black owned company to crack the fortune 500.

this documentary is a must watch, especially if you watched sarafina every time it was the movie matinee on TV
it does a great job of visually connecting apartheid, jim crow, & the violence of urban poverty, and slavery if you dare to look further
GORGEOUS images of 1960s Black folks

I have preached about annual physicals. Physicals help me detect heart issues early and I’ve been able to address with my cardiologist. I’m not even 50 yet.

Or when some asshole says "I'm a single dad" and you find out he has shared custody or only has them on weekends. 😒 That's stolen valor from all the legit single moms out there.

One of the things that really stuck with me about Sinners is the way it very accurately shows how someone can see you from afar being happy, free, and living life, desire you, pursue you, GENUINELY think they're coming in to make things better when really all they're capable of is destruction.

This video is specifically about symbolic violence, but it also neatly summarizes the crux of his series, which is to make the dynamics between classes transparent by applying Pierre Bourdieu's concepts to today.
