of material from yesterday lol.
"You Need
(First of all?
That's your first mistake
Mind your own business.)
to go back to work with
blah blah blah…
and earn some money
blah blah blah…
etc. etc. etc...)
It's really really simple
and it goes a lil something like this:
It's some of the best advice ever.
The wait staff at the Mexican restaurant are almost all are involved with the nursing program at their school.
GO DO IT!
ANYBODY CAN TALK ABOUT IT,
GO DO IT!
SHIOCK EVERYONE!
THE ONLY ONE HOLDING Y'ALL BACK IS YOURSELVES!
Dont count on anybody to encourage you.
Most aren't gonna.
You're gonna have to do it largely on your own.
Show em.
Show the world you got what it takes.
That you
CAN AND WILL
rise above your circumstances and do more than anybody ever thought you would or could.
Earn a better life than your parents/family ever dreamed of etc.
(And why dream a small dream?
What is the point in a dream if its not the biggest largest most unrealistic dream ever?
Why even bother?
Once you write it down?
It's not a dream anymore.
It's a plan now.
And Anybody ever tries to derail that?
Kick em to the curb.
Immediately.
No questions asked.
If that's the kinda person they are?
Thats the kinda person they will always be.
(More than likely)
You're better than that.
So show em.
Encourage each others success etc.
But know this:
The people who supported you?
When the time comes and the rubber hits the road and they see that you're gonna make something more out of yourself than they ever imagined you could be?
They are gonna wanna pull you back down in the crab bucket with 'em.
"Crab mentality, also known as crab theory, crabs in a bucket mentality, or the crab-bucket effect, is a way of thinking best described by the phrase "if I can't have it, neither can you".
The metaphor is derived from anecdotal claims about the behavior of crabs when they are trapped in a bucket: while any one crab can easily start to climb out, it will nonetheless be pulled back in by the others, ensuring the group's collective demise.
The analogous theory in human behavior is that members of a group will attempt to reduce the self-confidence of any member who achieves success beyond the others, out of envy, jealousy, resentment, spite, conspiracy, or competitive feelings, to halt their progress. The same claims about behavior are embodied in the phrase tall poppy syndrome."
"envy,
jealousy,
resentment,
spite,
conspiracy,
or competitive feelings"
Thats their issues, not yours.
Placate them now and you'll be doing it your whole life.
Been fighting it for a decade so I know a lil bit about it.
Its gotten beyond old.
Just be aware of that.
But yeah...
Growth should be of more importance to others
than your shrinking back to accommodate them.
Get with the program so to speak.
Or they're gonna get left by the wayside when the time comes.
DONT EVER
SHRINK YOURSELF
FOR SOMEBODY ELSES COMFORT.
YOURE SELF ESTEEM
SENSE OF SELF
IS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT
THAN THEIR COMFORT.
NOT TO MENTION:
WHEN DOES THAT SUBTLE FORM OF MANIPULATION EVER STOP?
I"LL GIVE YOU A CLUE.
NEVER.
Thats really the road you wanna go down?
Many do.
Their comfort is like your business.
Not your concern.
People that feel threatened by others people success are by my estimation/experience insecure af and just wanna keep you pigeonholed where it's comfortable for them.
Once you give in?
Good luck ever getting out.
So yeah...No Thx.
How about they grow instead of you shrink?
How about that option?
Or as Honey says:
GOD will take a nobody.
("Yes, Im listening you have my attention now".)
And make them a somebody.
("He will?" Yes, he most assuredly will, has, does etc)
And he will do it in front of everybody.
("Really? Publicly?"
Yes...
publicly for all to see.)
And the greatest part is?
He wont care what anybody thinks about it.
So you shouldn't either.
Good luck to all my friends down there
whatever they decide to do w their lives.
Pulling for each and every one of them.
Everyday.
Promise.
TY baby.
I wouldn't be here without you sweetheart.
