money ; don ’ t need a fucking man to do THAT for me !”
# FML !
I left her house thinking ... “ Why the fuck did you send me to school . Encourage me to get good grades . And , get a good job when you think the only value I have is as a fucking wife and mother ? I was born for more than this …? I have so much more to give , to offer and to share ...” IT TOOK ME YEARS TO SEE EXACT- LY WHAT WAS HAPPENING HERE . I was so young and so confused that I couldn ’ t make any sense of it ; I brushed her off as being fucking stupid and lazy . But …
As I grew into THIS woman ... As I grew in my career and education ... As I grew as a single mother ... As I grew as a human being ... As I grew in my understanding ... As I grew in my mindset ... As I grew into an entrepreneur ...
I realised exactly WHY my mothers ’ comments flawed me so and for so long … BECAUSE THEY WERE COMPLETE AND TOTAL BULLSHIT . I was right all along . I WAS born for more than that . I AM more than that ! I am IMPORTANT . I am VALUABLE . I WAS BORN WITH A PURPOSE . And , being someone ’ s TROPHY WIFE isn ’ t it . It never was for me ! I couldn ’ t imagine anything more FUCKING MINDNUMBINGLY BORING .
I couldn ’ t live with the beating that my self-esteem ( among other things ) would have to take if I decided that was for me . You see , the thing is ... I ALWAYS WANT- ED MORE . I KNEW THAT I NEEDED … DESERVED MORE . And , I know that it is EXACTLY the same for you too .
You weren ’ t born to be : Someone ’ s prize Given away Dumbed down Simply exist A house decoration Or a fucking seat warmer
You weren ’ t born to live the life someone else wanted for you .
For you are a fucking game-changer … a powerful creator . You were born to fucking empower and to actualise real fucking change . You were born to help fucking thousands and to have massive fucking impact . You were born to challenge the fucking norm with your unique fucking purpose . You were born a fucking bad-ass , kick-ass leader , to create your own fucking riches .
There will be no fucking Prince Charming coming to your rescue ... He can ride on past your fucking door on his magnificent and trusty steed … YOU ’ LL RES- CUE YOUR-FUCKING-SELF !
Because … You are a rebel woman baby ! You are your own leading lady ! You are the fucking Queen ! You are the hero of your own story ! So what are you waiting for ?
