I was always waiting for a man to come and save me. Years ago I realized I was the only one who could save myself.

I still have to remind myself of this from time to time.

It’s wild how deeply embedded our shit is.

Yes! We take in implicit and explicit messages about ourselves, others, and the world from the time we’re born. It becomes our belief system and programming. All subconscious until we decide to start looking at ourselves.

Whew. There’s a lot that goes into that. But it’s definitely possible to shift them and your behavior. It takes time.

Real man don't save his girl, he teaches her, guide her and train her to live full filing life.

He nurture her like her daughter.

Real men nurture and train wife like a daughter so she can be strong.
