Realize and understand that you are one person. You can handle only so much on your own.

This will all take a great collaborative effort on the shoulders of the many. So, you focus on you, until everyone is collectively together enough to do the right things necessary.

We are being distracted from the bigger picture.

The bigger picture being is, look at how much corruption is dominating us. We've been played, we're continually being played and it seemingly looks like we're always going to be played. The more time we take up to social media, to complain about something we absolutely disagree about with how things are ran and in hopes they 'read what they say'. Well, that's giving them more leverage because we're screaming into the void and only getting just virtual pats on the back.

And it's like, we KNOW what is wrong, we KNOW who is the problem and we KNOW exactly how everyone feels. But, we allow ourselves to be distracted by what? A Super Bowl half time performance? It's like we're all too busy looking for things to cope with than brainstorming how we're going to get ourselves out of this mess.

The more we choose to cope, the more we're allowing them to get even more of a stranglehold on us.

 

Just yesterday, I completed an application for snap benefits. That's all I wanted and needed assistance with. Because I'm a part-time worker, my finances at times get strapped because I'm paying off a loan from a bank and it makes my working budgets feel a little compressed. I need some breathing room here.

I hope I get them but I never intend to be on it forever, I just need some financial security and resource assurance. I've always tried being a person who looked to things like this and only go to them when I needed them, not because I wanted them and mooch off from them.
