We teach girls to shrink themselves. To make themselves smaller. We say to girls, “You can have ambition, but not too much. You should aim to be successful but not too successful, otherwise you will threaten the man.” -Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (We Should All Be Feminists)
There is no force more powerful than a woman walking in her purpose.
She knows what she wants, she walks with intention, she rises above every obstacle and she keeps going every day because she knows that her ‘overnight success’ will take years of hard work.
Your purpose is your monopoly. The same way that a hand cannot walk like a leg, or a mouth breathe like a nose, no one can fulfill your purpose like you. Understand that, and realise that the world is waiting for you to show up as you.
Whatever your passion can give solution to, is the problem you were put here on earth to solve. That is the ‘purpose’ of why you were created.
Investing in yourself is a sign that you believe in your brand and your vision. It’s a sign that you bet on yourself, that whatever you’re requesting from others will be worth their time or money.
Investing in yourself is believing in yourself and trusting your potential to achieve your life’s purpose. Be consistent and enjoy the process of becoming the successful woman that you already are.
Sis, in conclusion, learn the essence of always showing up and being consistent in the pursuit of your life’s purpose.
