Dee's character in the story "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker confirms that when one comes from an impoverished and uneducated background, exposure to higher education can lead them to become more eccentric. Dee's behavior and radical transformation is analyzed through an interdisciplinary lens including education, culture, sociology, and African American studies. Education allowed Dee to change, and her weak family relationships made her more open to new cultures.

Dare to fail
This document discusses facing problems, difficulties, failure and suffering in life. It makes several key points:
- Problems, pain and suffering are inevitable parts of life, but can make us stronger if faced with determination and persistence. Difficult times do not define us; it is how we respond that matters.

- Even when all else fails, one should find new dreams and directions rather than giving up. As long as we are alive, there is opportunity to turn

Mind Setting Deck.pptx
This document provides techniques for overcoming mental obstacles like self-sabotage, fear, doubts, money worries, jealousy, and envy. It recommends recognizing negative patterns and responding with self-love and compassion. Fears should be faced directly rather than avoided. Confusion often stems from outside voices; finding your purpose provides clarity. Financial success is more likely by following your passion than chasing money. Envy can be transformed into inspiration from others' successes. Maintaining physical, spiritual, and mental health fuels personal growth. The RAIN method - recognize, allow, investigate, nurture - can help process overwhelming feelings with self-compassion.

Changing one's energy and frequency can transform situations and help break resistance to being imperfect yet genuine.

Module 9: Overcoming Psychological Barriers/A Changing Mindset
This document discusses overcoming psychological barriers by changing one's mindset. It notes that we can be our own worst critics and doubt ourselves, fearing we are uninteresting or lack talent. Rejection can shatter confidence, yet we erect psychic walls to avoid emotional pain like rejection or humiliation. These walls prevent us from achieving our potential, as living freely takes more courage than staying safely behind these barriers, never fully living at all.

Challenges include negotiated curricula, deeply felt experiences, organizational constraints, expectations, and being misunderstood as non-academic.
