Self reliance is one of life’s greatest tools. The downside however is that it can make you hesitant to let people depend on you too much or make you the centre of their happiness. You take greater satisfaction in seeing them stand on their own feet, just as you once had to.
some may confuse this with emotional unavailability. 😌
Every single day I wake up, I thank God for making me a capable babe. It’s one thing to have ideas, resources and even support, but ability takes you ALL the way there.
I am full of capacity and I will forever be grateful for my life 🙏🏽♥️
Idk but Michelle Obama telling Barack “You told me all those years ago that you couldn't promise me the world, but you could promise me an interesting life. And, of course you outdid yourself and managed to give me both." is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard someone say to another 🥹
when Michelle said Barack has “stubborn optimism” I realized I also really want that in a partner. Somebody who isn’t moved by life’s shortcomings but ALWAYS sees the light at the end of the tunnel. That’s a true leader, not just of a country but a household. what a legacy.
If you wish to remain resourceful and maintain your integrity, learn to respect and protect the people you have access to. Do not burden them with trivial matters. Do not constantly call in for favours. Guard that access carefully and use it sparingly, thoughtfully and only when absolutely necessary. Ironically, the more respectful you are of a person’s time and position, the more willing they become to assist when you genuinely need them. The goal is to cultivate relationships built on mutual respect rather than relentless extraction. Respect people so much that when your name appears on their phone, they know it matters. Respect them so much that when you call, they are willing to drop everything and take your call.
Night school class dismissed…
Ppl will admire your depth until it’s time to swim in it. They’ll praise your wisdom until it holds them accountable… love your light until it exposes their shadows. They’ll crave your energy until they realise it’s not free.
Master the art of being finished with people. Not bitter, not dramatic, not seeking revenge, just at peace with the decision. Sometimes maturity looks like walking away quietly and choosing your well being over another explanation. You can love someone and still recognize when their access to you has expired.
books ruined dating for me. not because my standards are too high. because i learned what genuine interest looks like. if you can’t measure up to my book crush kick rocks. 🤣
I am going to be a successful woman. I will succeed academically, professionally, entrepreneurially, and in every area of my life. I will build a life and a system that work for me.
I will come back to this tweet with joy in my heart because I chose to bet on myself. And when that day comes, I’ll be glad I did because I simply could not afford to fail.
