When I judged others harshly it was because I was judging myself harshly.
Vicious cycle.
Today I’m less judgmental about myself and less judgmental about others.
Virtuous cycle.

This is what life experience brings. I used to be the same way.
I appreciate the many times I have been humbled by life. It’s a gift.
I like to think everyone holds Bitcoin and happily knows everything is a psyop. It really makes the world seem like a better place.
Over the next four years, we'll head in that direction 👍
I do both. It helps to balance. Think of the ☯️

That’s really profound. What made you judge yourself less harshly?
I achieved some significant things and then I had a lot of cognitive dissonance around what I was telling myself in my head and what my life was like in reality.
Also becoming a father. I didn’t want my internal judgmental voice which I realized sounded suspiciously like my father and his mother to become the internal voice of my daughters.
So I had to fix it in myself so I didn’t transfer it down to the next generation.
I don’t understand why some people are so eager to share their "wisdom" without being asked.
Wow, respect my man. Generational trauma is hard to break. But let me tell you, you’re an inspiration.
Fuck man I try. It’s tough. Children clarify things though. I couldn’t imagine treating my children the way I was treated.
The only enemy I have is my own inner judge & victim.

Finding a way to love ourselves unconditionally is one the hardest & worthwhile things that we'll ever do.
You have nothing to feel guilty about.
You did the best that you could at the time.

Children are the best motivator. But still it took me a few years as a parent to realise I needed to do better.
Be kind to yourself
