You're Stronger Than You Think ~Thread~

1/ Housing is the defining issue of our time. As California's average home prices approach $1 million, @CSElmendorf and Ed Glaeser, America's leading urban economists, call on California to stop the vetocracy and BUILD. MORE. HOMES. 🇺🇸 From today's @latimes:

Stand up straight. Look in the mirror. See the strength looking back at you. Then go prove it to the world.

Your past doesn't define you. Your present doesn't confine you. Your future is waiting for you to claim it. You have everything you need right now.

When you feel weak, help someone else. There's incredible strength in service. Lifting others up will remind you of your own power.

Your pain has a purpose. It's preparing you for something. Building your character. Strengthening your resolve. Don't waste your suffering, let it shape you into who you're meant to be.

Resilience isn't about never falling down. It's about how quickly you get back up. And you've gotten back up every single time. Remember that.

Stop comparing your behind-the-scenes to someone else's highlight reel. You see their victory. You don't see their struggles, their doubts, their 3 AM worries. Everyone is fighting battles you know nothing about.

Your struggles aren't signs of weakness. They're proof of your commitment. Nothing worth having comes easy. The fact that it's hard means you're on the right path.

You think strong people don't get scared. Wrong. Strong people get scared all the time. The difference is they take action anyway. Courage is fear that said its prayers.

You've already survived 100% of your worst days. Think about that. Every challenge, every setback, every moment you thought you couldn't handle, you're still here. That's not luck. That's strength.

Son, you keep waiting to feel strong. Waiting for the fear to go away. Waiting for the doubt to disappear. But strength isn't something you feel, it's something you prove.

The Herd Is Lost, Stop Following It ~Thread~

The world doesn’t need another sheep. It needs a shepherd. It needs you. Now go lead.

Leave the herd. Create your own path. Build something only you can build. The view is better out here.

Your weirdness is your superpower. That thing you try to hide? That unique way you see the world? That’s your gift. Stop keeping it locked away.

The most dangerous phrase in the world is: “But everyone else is doing it.” That’s how smart people end up in dumb situations. That’s how dreams go to die.

Stop asking for permission. Greatness doesn’t follow rules, it rewrites them. You don’t need anyone’s approval to live a life that matters.
