the stuff you joke about (even ironically or whatever) has a way of shaping your reality so be careful and deliberate with that stuff. a lot of people out here fumbling their own bags by joking about outcomes they don’t want. you might as well joke about the outcomes you do want

Everything you allow to remain in your head shapes your reality. Music. Jokes. Images. Conversations with others. Internal dialog with self.
Dick Whittington’s tale goes here as a reminder.
The customary English theatre story, adapted from the life of the real Richard Whittington, is that the young boy Dick Whittington was an unhappy apprentice running away from his master, and heard the tune ringing from the bell tower of the church of St Mary-le-Bow in London in 1392.[5] The penniless boy heard the bells seemingly saying to him “Turn again Dick Whittington”. Dick returned to London upon hearing the bells, where he went on to find his fortune and became the Lord Mayor of London four times.

No joke there, but he heard what he needed to hear and nurtured the thought in his heart. Those who have ears to hear, etc.
A story from 1392. Relevant today and as fresh as it was 600 years ago.
