There’s no way I went to school to work this hard. Where are all the shortcuts?!

10 toes down I’m with Troopz today. 😭😭😭

Brilliant. Just brilliant. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Only Ravel Morrison was a bigger shock via unrealized potential.

In time, I’ll learn to understand how good God has been to me. For now, I’ll try to learn to understand his grace, no matter how undeserving I deem myself to be. 🙏🏾

This paragraph from Carl Jung hits so hard. “The world is full of people suffering from the effects of their own unlived life. They become bitter, critical, or rigid, not because the world is cruel to them, but because they have betrayed their own inner possibilities. The artist who never makes art becomes cynical about those who do. The lover who never risks loving mocks romance. The thinker who never commits to a philosophy sneers at belief itself. And yet, all of them suffer, because deep down they know: the life they mock is the life they were meant to live.”

ADHD isn’t an “attention deficit.” It’s a profound developmental disorder of self-regulation. Dr. Russell Barkley (one of the world’s leading ADHD researchers) explains why the name “ADHD” has done massive damage: - It trivializes a condition as serious as autism, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder. - It makes people think “just drink coffee and focus” — when the real issue is far deeper. The core problem isn’t just distractibility. It’s three interlocking executive deficits: 1. Persistence toward the future — inability to stay motivated by delayed rewards 2. Resistance to distractions — constant derailment by immediate temptations 3. Working memory — struggling to hold goals, plans, and consequences in mind Together, these create a devastating impairment in self-regulation — the ability to consciously inhibit impulses, direct actions toward yourself (self-talk, self-monitoring), and align behavior with long-term welfare. Barkley: “This is not an attention problem. This is a disorder of self-regulation… as serious as manic depression, and in its own way, as autism.” Parents often hear “he’s just lazy” or “she needs to try harder.” The truth is far more compassionate and urgent: The child’s brain is developmentally behind in the very mechanisms that allow other kids to stop, think, plan, and protect their future selves. If we renamed it Self-Regulatory Developmental Disorder (SRDD), the conversation would change overnight. How many adults do you know who still struggle with exactly these same three deficits — and were never properly understood as kids?

God is good, all the time. 🙏🏾❤️

Acquired. 🔥🤌🏾

This gentleman perfectly explains why the upper middle class kids are at the highest risk of failure in life and it makes so much sense.

My father passed away a few years ago and what Steve Harvey says here is SO TRUE “When a man's father dies, he realizes that the one man who truly wanted him to be better than him is gone … When my daddy died, I didn't have nobody to say they was proud of me.”

Amid global turbulence, South Africa demonstrated remarkable economic resilience. South Africa's new 3% inflation target is a key policy milestone. Prudent fiscal policies and structural reforms could boost real output by up to 9% over the medium term. imf.org/en/news/articl…

The older I get, the more I realize being in a hurry is a terrible way to live your life.

We ALL need to slaughter for these okes, before they become 2026’s biggest mental health crisis. 😭😭

Wow, this looks terrible to drive. 😂

Leaving a toxic workplace is a weird feeling… like you’re relieved you’ve finally left, but also annoyed that a perfectly good job has been unnecessarily ruined by a few people creating a horrible work culture.

I was humbled when J Cole asked his manager to reach out for permission to use this viral moment with my sister Light for his new album The Fall Off. Yah used this moment to encourage millions of men then and He is doing it again. Song: Only You
