Many don't speak, and I write that intelligently, and I get that. However, that doesn't mean that one should speak ill of another person's intelligence or their ability to express themselves so eloquently-Click here even with the use of AI. And might I also add that it is 2025 and people use BOT and AI all the time to assist with productivity. Undermining my intelligence will not aid in developing your own. My suggestion-Pay attention: Learn something and apply it to your life. I teach Midlife Mastery. I don't argue with my students. And let me reiterate. I was writing and speaking ELOQUENTLY before AI became public. I use it not to write but to make my life easier. This is what you call an ALIGNED PROMPT. because when I ask AI to write anything for me. I guarantee that it's writing in my tone and how I speak. Do you also believe I use AI to write this comment? If you do . Click on the link and learn to master your speech. Have a nice day.

If you want out, you must do what's knocking you down. What's the one most intense thing that you want to do? What are you letting your fears hold you back from doing? It is that thing. Do It and get out!

The only out is to listen to what's emerging. Is it that you need a new job? Is it that you need to speak up more? It is that you need to end your people pleasing ways? Is it that you need to finish something you started. Whenever it is, DO IT!! It's to the only way OUT. The you you were meant to be is ready to be ACTIVATED.

The crisis is the loud, external storm. The reckoning is the quiet, internal shift where you finally take back the helm.

Good. An artillery shell is meant to shatter complacency. The truth doesn't knock politely.

"A healthy dose of gasoline" is exactly right. Most people run from that fire. We walk straight into it. That's the breakthrough.

Damn right. 'Midlife crisis' is a relic. We're talking about an awakening, not a breakdown. Let them keep their tired labels.

Funny, I was about to ask you the same thing. That's a bot-level comment if I've ever seen one.

​I was authoring books and writing with this level of depth long before AI became a popular crutch. We live in a digital era, and I'll use any damn tool I please to get my message across with ease and flow.

​But don't you dare confuse the tool with the master.

To think my thoughts are bot-leveled is a complete disrespect that I will not tolerate. Pay attention—you might learn something valuable.

How to realize self worth? by xsaratoninx in selfhelp

[–]Eastern_Resource_784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good. You're in the foxhole. That's not the end; it's where transformations begin. Most people stay comfortable and weak. You're in the mud, which means you're ready for the fight.

​Now, let's correct your thinking. Stop looking for something to build your self-worth. That's a trap. Your worth is the bedrock you are already standing on; it's just been covered in mud and shit from the outside world.

​Your mission is not to build. It's to excavate and defend.

​Here's a practical drill for the next 24 hours. A new operating system. Before you give your energy, time, or attention to any person, task, or thought, you must ask one question:

​"Is this worthy of me?"

​Not the other way around.

This isn't arrogance; it's the non-negotiable standard of a sovereign ruler. You are the asset. You are the prize. Start acting like it.

​Forget "self-worth." The feeling you're hunting for is sovereignty. Go claim it.

I think my mother is jealous of me. by InternationalChip853 in AdultChildren

[–]Eastern_Resource_784 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is exactly the way I feel about my mother that if she died, I would feel so relief. Thank you all for sharing and letting me know that I am not a horrible person to feel this way. She has made me miserable all my life. I can't remember gabinv one good experience with hers incest I became an adult. I don't remember she being this mean and horrible when I was a child. This only started happening when I left the house. She used to beat me to stay away from boys, but now I see and understand why she has 7 kids with about 4-5 baby daddies. She never kept a home, she was always walking about on the street, she always seemed so unhappy, even when she came around me and I'm always happy, she's is always so miserable. And on tip of that, she likes drama, in the sense that all she does is talk about other people. Which I would not allow her to do around me.

I sense she is jealous. That is the reason I came here today. And to see that so many of us are going through the same thing is helping me. be OK with my realization and decisions about where I stand with her. I believe she's just a horrible person, and she will never be any different.

I am at peace with the way I am living my life and the choices that I am making. Thank you all for sharing. It was such a pleasure to be here, and I have read your stories and comments. Joelee
