I love this!

I’ve watched my entire family die over the years. Was abused by my dad. Grew up in the inner city.

I had EVERY opportunity to choose the victim path in life. But here I am, 42 years old. A college graduate in veterinary medicine. Left that industry just before the scamdemic and landed a management position with a landscaping company that spans a large portion of the US.

Just bought my own home, too.

Case in point….I never viewed myself as a victim. Even when I was homeless and living in my truck due to my own substance abuse issues….I pushed forward, I beat alcoholism, and became who I am today!

Much love to you, Jordan! Hopefully some day I’ll be able to catch a live stream, until then…catch ya on the restream!

Jordan, you have so much discernment being so young. I may just have to adopt you, hahahaha...my own son is probably a little older than you and my hope is that he can see through the shenanigans going on these days, coming out from it with hope being part of the solution. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart and soon I will be able to support you...that's my hearts desire.

“Embrace the suck”

In the Army we had an expression in the Afrikaans called "Vasbyt" it means bite hard directly translated to English. "Grit your teeth" would be the better translation.

The other word I noticed was "bear crawls" we called it Leopard crawl.

Remember the antidote to fear is courage.

Great article.
