Everyday I wake up with the intent to make myself prouder of me than I was yesterday. I remember when it used to be a time when I worried about everyone else's thoughts and opinions about me and my life. I never really saw me, or cared about how I felt about me. When I talk to young ladies about their life, the first thing that comes out their mouths is their friends. They tell me it's because I'm older that it doesn't matter to me what other people think, but the truth of the matter is, I grew up faster than most, so my days of caring was shorter than most. After I had my daughter, at age 20, and became a young mom, my priorities changed, and then my life changed. I could no longer live for pleasing other people, I had someone depending on me. So in order to make her proud, I had to make myself proud. I instilled that same ump in my daughter as a child growing up, so no one could ever make her feel less than. We even made a dance out of , I taught her before she could talk to "brush them shoulders off". That gesture has stuck with her throughout her adult life, and she walks with great pride every day. She makes herself prouder everyday. So I ask you, do you make yourself proud? If not what can you do in this moment to change that?
