This is NOT your regularly scheduled 🔥//THREAD//🔥

Another day, another batch of shit to deal with from the real world.

Put politics aside...

You’ve got take care of you.

Nobody is coming to save you.

Let’s talk.

👇🏻
2.

Our institutions are crumbling...

BOTH from their inability to adapt to changing times AND the constant attacks from those who would like to see them disappear.

This is not a political statement.

Reliance upon any entity for any aspect of your life makes you fragile.

👇🏻
3.

Your education is on you.

I’m in public education, I know our limitations, they are many.

School raises the floor for all.

Raising your ceiling is on you.

Soon, you may have to raise your floor.

Fortunately, you have the Internet.

Use it.

Those who do will succeed.

👇🏻
4.

Your job will break you.

Companies don’t care about you no matter what they may say.

When push comes to shove, you’re gone.

If you have a boss, if you get a yearly review/evaluation, you are fragile.

Jobs are great if the world is predictable.

It’s not.

👇🏻
5.

You need to become self-reliant.

If you can’t prepare your food, you are fragile.

If you HAVE to workout at a gym, you are fragile.

If you have a limited set of skills, you are fragile.

If you can’t defend yourself and those that you love, then you are all fragile.

👇🏻
6.

Fragile people end up broken.

Reliance upon others for ANYTHING makes you fragile.

Self-reliance is the only way.

-Multiple types of SKILLS
-Multiple streams of INCOME
-Multiple layers of PROTECTION

Wrapped up in the ability to ADAPT.

Winter is coming...
7.

The events in Washington DC today spurred these thoughts.

But they have been rolling around in my head for some time.

We’re in the right place.

Let’s take advantage of it.
