Grit
Grit is mental, physical, and emotional RESILIENCE. It's defined as passion and perseverance. It's not something you are born with, you don't learn it in a classroom, you don't inherit it, you don't even learn it from your parents. You earn it by experiencing and doing hard things, sticking with it even when you want to quit, grit is forged through fire and pushing through to the other side to experience personal growth and TRANSFORMATION.
"He who wrestles with us strengthens our nerves and sharpens our skill. Our antagonist is our helper"
-Edmund Burke
You Got This Sh*t!
People are going to be dicks, pricks, and assholes to you. They will attempt to tear you down, talk shit behind your back, and do anything to “knock you off the board”.
These types are insecure, often jealous megalomaniacs, narcissists and pathological egoists.
They are known to abuse their so called “power” by using tactics such as threatening you, strong arming you, extorting and canceling you, they will manipulate and mind fuck you.
Many suffer from “delusions of grandeur” lying, cheating, and back stabbing anyone to get their
way. They are big babies!
These types prey on those of us who have issues with self worth, or carry unresolved childhood trauma. You will never see them picking on someone their own size, because it is highly probable they will lose! They despise losing at all costs to protect their fragile egos.
They have to be the best, the winner, the number one, the ONLY one in the universe. They are inept in realizing there are other people here, and refuse to share the stage.
It’s just their nature to be a dick, a prick and an asshole. So accept that you can't change them.
On your journey always remember that after the game the King and the pawn go in the same box.
You are no less than, smaller or weaker than them. In fact YOU my love are stronger, as it takes true strength to be gentle. Ignore those who carry a false strength and let them stew in their own mental games and marinate in their own hate.
Keep doing you…with a smile on your face, fancy and free with love in your heart! Ignore these parasites, don’t give them your precious time, energy, or thoughts. Bless them, Keep going, and dancing along your path, spreading love and kindness as an antidote to these sand pebbles.
YOU GOT THIS!!
Control Freaks
Some people act like they know everything! These types of people are the ones who truly know nothing! They are consumed by their incessant need to control, dominate and judge. They control because they are terrified of losing control.
Since they “claim” to know everything, they also claim to know what is best for you. They are terrified to look in the mirror, because deep inside they are too chicken shit to face themselves.
So instead they pin you as their scapegoat as an aversion to themselves so they can feel “superior”.
They will point fingers at you, degrade and demean you. They will verbally accost you. They will balk at your dreams, disregard your successes, tell you you are not good enough, worthy or even relevant.
They are noisy instigators who throw roadblocks on your path, and attempt to hijack your hope and inspiration.
On your journey don’t forget to pack your rock climbing shoes, and belay on over those pesky roadblocks, and if the rock is too big, bring a couple sticks of dynamite and blow em' up, ignore these bothersome little control freaks and keep on truckin’
