Here's mine. Not to be so quiet and shy when meeting new people and learning new things even when it seems harder than you may think since no one says it would be easy but if you at least give it a try and never quit or give up you will get better when time passes. But we've got this even if it doesn't feel like it right now as time passes you will realize how far you've come since you first started.

The snow an sleeting is here so let’s see what everyone is doing I haven’t went to the store yet but hopefully there’s still stuff there

Happy new week to everyone here.😎 I hope the new month and year are treating you well.👍 We all talk about procrastination. 😱 When you get right down to it resistance is the huge underlying problem. The 2 books that I recently read on the subjects are "The War of Art" and "Outwitting The Devil" I highly recommend you check them out. 🔎 You can listen to them on Audible or with the Speechify app. 💬 Are you working on your mindset and knowledge in the new year❓

You are owned, and it is up to you to free yourself. You are born to parents. Another way to interpret the word "parents" is as a "pair rents"—a pair who rents you until the educational system, government, entertainment industry, social media, and society mold your mind to their standards. This process instills a slave mentality. John D. Rockefeller, who shaped the modern educational system, famously stated that he did not want a nation of thinkers but a nation of workers. Society conditions us to follow a prescribed path: go to school, get a job, work hard, retire, and then enjoy life. The reality is that if you adhere to this path, you may remain a slave to the system for your entire life. Instead, you should strive to enjoy life while you are living. Breaking Free from a Slave Mentality The idea that we are "owned" and must free ourselves is a provocative but essential truth. From the moment we are born, we are subject to a system that shapes our thoughts, values, and beliefs in ways that often serve the interests of those in power rather than our own. This conditioning begins at home, continues in schools, and is reinforced by societal norms and institutions. To break free from this slave mentality, we must first recognize its existence and then actively work to reclaim our autonomy. The Role of Institutions in Conditioning Our parents, or "pair rents," as the text cleverly suggests, temporarily guided us during our formative years. However, their guidance often aligns with societal norms, perpetuating a cycle of conformity. The educational system, for instance, was designed not to encourage critical thinking or creativity but to produce obedient workers. John D. Rockefeller, one of its key architects, explicitly stated that he desired a nation of workers, not thinkers. This system teaches us to value hard work for others' gain over personal fulfillment or intellectual independence. Beyond education, the media, entertainment industry, and government also play significant roles in shaping our perceptions. Social media, in particular, reinforces comparison and materialism, distracting us from introspection and meaningful goals. These institutions collectively mold individuals into a predictable workforce rather than fostering unique, self-empowered individuals.

My prayer for you is that you have a happy, safe, blessed, and beautiful 2025. I hope that life treats you well this year and that you all reach your goals.
