Lead Yourself.......
Trumps administration is coming to save you...sort of.
And all it took was a bunch of billionaires…billionairing.
Now, I’m not here to stan Trump or cosign chaos.
But I am here to name something that a lot of folks won’t say out loud (well my professor does):
He speaks directly to his people and they act.
That action might be wild, messy, even dangerous…
But it’s still action.
It’s momentum.
Meanwhile, many of us are stuck waiting on a perfectly-worded policy,
a perfectly-organized protest, a perfectly-packaged program, a perfectly crafted community.
Waiting on "the right time" to move. The Time is Now.
The right party to protect us. We can protect ourselves, and party later.
The right structure to save us. We're laying foundations they can't take from us.
And I hate to break it to you, but…
Neither party is coming. Nobody is coming to save you. Nobody is coming to give you a grant. Nobody is coming to invest in you. But this is not about bootstrapping. My boots have worn heels. And my big toe hurts.
That’s why I no longer identify with Democrat or Republican.
At this point, I’m repping the Party of Me:
My family.
My health.
My peace.
My future.
My bank account.
My community (Arlan's All Access).
My ability to sleep at night without spiraling.
Even in destruction, there is clarity.
The government, Trump, the billionaires, they think they’re saving the system by stepping on the rest of us.
And maybe, in a twisted way, they are saving something…
Because their actions are forcing the rest of us to tilt our head up a little, to come alive.
To stop waiting.
To start building.
To save ourselves.
Here’s what I’ve learned watching this political circus play out:
You don’t need a perfect plan to take meaningful action, but you do need a community, a compass, and a commitment.
🎯 What you can do: The Self-Led Strategy Starter
If you're tired of waiting on external change, ask yourself:
1. What do I need right now that I keep waiting for someone else to provide?
2. Who in my current circle actually helps me feel powerful, not just informed?
3. What’s one small action I can take this week to reclaim agency, financially, mentally, or emotionally?
It doesn’t have to be loud.
But it does have to be yours.
Because in a world where billionaires are building bunkers, and chaos has a marketing team, your clarity is your best protection.
P.S. I’m not saying burn it all down (unless you’re called to).
I am saying it’s time to get radically honest about who you're listening to, and whether they’re helping you move or just keeping you scared.
More tomorrow but for today?
