So how did you learn those coping skills? Did someone teach you that? Did you just like, just willpower? Like, I'm gonna, I'm gonna figure this out because that's kind of ninja level stuff. A lot of people get that voice in your head. You have the background you had. They don't, they don't learn how to rise above it. And you, you're doing something that's pretty unusual.
Well, I'm an unusual character. That's why I'm the last Black Unicorn. But I don't. I think it's like a combination of watching a lot of TV on, self help stuff, reading self help books, and I love me some Louise Hayes. I don't know why she does her videos all the time and read all her books. Like, I was kind of sad when she passed because I really wanted to meet her, but for me, yeah, I think it's a culmination of a lot of different things and just figuring out what worked for me using my discernment.
Still, I know few people from even a wealthier childhood who have the level of resilience that you've shown to do that, like to go out and do that level of inner work and then to actually take action and to do it. And you're doing it financially, you're doing it in your career. You take advice from people. Even though you probably, the way you grew up, you probably didn't learn to take advice from people. You learned to fear because, I mean.
You have to not fear people. I learned to fear and do not trust people. Everyone is full of crap. Everyone wants to hurt you, rape you, steal from you. They want to do something to you. Like that's, that's also always running in the back of my mind. That's why it's like when I decide to trust somebody, it's a, it's a big deal. Yeah, it's a big deal. And even though everyone's like, you're so sweet, you're so nice. I'm nice to a certain extent, you know, and sometimes maybe I'm too nice. Maybe because once I decide to trust you, then I trust you, right? Then when you betray me, then I gotta pray for you. Even.
That's like a real advanced skill that's, you know, forgiveness and compassion, you know, turn the other cheek kind of stuff. That's, that's not, it's not what you learned growing up. So you're an unusual spirit.
Well, what I have learned though, is, especially in my 20s, I learned that like, you have to learn how to forgive you do not ever forget. But you have to learn how to forgive. Because if you hold on to that, it's always. It's always hurting you. It's always making you sick. You'll be the one with the period that lasts for two months. Because you messed up inside, because you not sleeping and eating right, because you stressed out, because you really want to get revenge, or you feel so upset, like instead of just letting it go, let go, let God. Like, once I learned how to do that, my health, everything elevated. When I learned how to do that, that don't mean I forgot.
