A healthy relationship and connection with family helps children be able to grow their own potential, become their best, and stay on the right path. \n\nPeople in the business of drug trafficking do earn a lot of money but they also earn a lot of trauma which will take years of hard work to unpack and heal from if they live long enough. \n\nThe only way a person can really progress and grow psychologically is for them to reflect on their own life, ditch all excuses, and accept responsibility and take ownership of the consequences of their actions. \n\nIf you find yourself starting a lot of things but always end up giving up along the way, then challenge yourself now to finish something. Give yourself a goal and give yourself a strict deadline. \n\n\"I began journaling and really writing down the events in my life, as I could remember them.…  Through that process, I was able to take ownership and responsibility… Journaling was a game changer.\" —  Shaka Senghor\n\nConnect with Shaka Senghor:\n\nWebsite: https://www.shakasenghor.com/\n\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/shakasenghor\n\nTwitter: http://twitter.com/shakasenghor\n\nConnect with Dr. George James:Website: https://georgetalks.com | https://theleapcast.com\n\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/georgetalks/  \n\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrGeorgeJamesJr/\n\nLEAPCast Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/333209771885091\n\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/georgetalks\n\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/GeorgeTalksLLC/videos\n\nLinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/GeorgeTalks\n\nAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
