Getting high of your own supply

I love "The Queen of the South"

She is a very elegant business woman, Teresa Mendosa is such an intriguing character – a woman with incredible elegance and a rags-to-riches story that's truly inspiring.

She came from nothing, working for Mexican cartels, and now she runs an empire.

She took over each market, one by one. Fearlessly, elegantly, and honorably.

In the beginning of her way, when she had to face really difficult situations - she used to visualize her future self, and her success, and have inner talks with the woman she wanted to be, that guided her.

After she started to make too much money, her clients wouldn't even want her to pay them more, because "she is too big".

Her partners turned their backs on her, and she got addicted to power, but she never was satisfied with the billions she had, and she wanted more and more.

When one of her business partners was after her and her crew she started to freak out, and then -

there is this scene that I really like -

she suddenly saw her old self in the mirror. The survivor. The not spoiled one, the street cat, the kind-hearted part of herself.

She got high from her own supply

before she knew what power would do to her.

This was Teresa Mendosa, past version.

She was there when she needed her, just like her future self was there to guide her to success.

"What's the version of my best self telling me to do? How does it feel to be the best version of myself right now?”
