Not everyone will understand your journey. That’s fine. It’s not their journey to make sense of. It’s yours.

Celebrating cruelty, intolerance, and injustice, encouraging acts of aggression, and sympathizing with those who hate & discriminate sure sound like the actions of evil people to me. [Evil: adj. profoundly immoral & wicked]

People are influenced by example. Years of bad behavior on reality TV, abusive internet comments, a focus on superficiality & fame, and a lack of ethics, logic, empathy & emotional intelligence in leadership roles have all played their part in giving people permission to imitate.

People who play it safe as a means to be liked (or get likes) by only promoting or supporting what’s already popular instead of what’s actually potent & meaningful are the bricklayers of the status quo & a plague on progress.
Potent > popular

Don’t know something? Admit it
Make a mistake? Own it & don’t make it someone else’s problem
Make a mess? Clean it
Affect someone in a way you didn’t intend? Apologize
Personalresponsibility & confidence aren’t signs of weakness or insecurity. Quite the opposite actually

Goals. If you have to console yourself after quitting, feel the need to play up being disappointed, or feel guilty when people say “It’s ok, you tried”, the chances are good you quit too easily.
You may be disappointed in quitting, but if you truly tried, you’ll also be proud.

Goals. Don’t quit when you’re angry. Don’t quit when you’re tired. Don’t quit when you’re upset. Don’t quit when you’re disappointed.
Only quit if you feel satisfied with your efforts & *truly* believe that moving on is in your best interest.
Otherwise, hangon & keepgoing!
