‘No matter what stage of life you’re at right now, keep reminding yourself that it will get better. Just keep being your bad bitch self, and it will all work out the way it’s supposed to in the end, with you ruling your own life on your own terms and no thought for any of the haters.’– Amber Rose

Go to work for yourself. Go to work for your dreams. And be willing to give more, not less. Just know that not everybody is going to celebrate you when you succeed.

But people will have a lot to say if you do not make it. That is okay. Do not let that bother you. Let them talk. Your work is not to stop them from talking. Your work is to keep going, is to keep making a difference. To keep hope alive.

Is it going to be perfect? No, it is going to be hard. But do not give up. Believe in what you are doing. According to Amber, ‘Everytime you trust yourself, every time you do something scary or hard, you become a little bit stronger.‘ That is how we grow. That is how we make progress.

If you want to make yourself stronger, to prepare yourself for what is next, you have got to be true to yourself. The question is, ‘Are you in it for you?’

‘Are you writing a history of misery, or a tale of tenacity?’– Iyanla Vanzant

What are you writing? Are you writing your own story, or are you waiting for other people to write your story for you? Do not wait. Do it yourself.

‘What if someone you loved and respected suddenly stopped speaking to you?’- Iyanla Vanzant

Do not brush it under the rug. Because you do not know what is going on with him or her. To know, you must ask. Keep asking until you know what is going on. If not, it is not going to go away.

‘What are you still holding on to?’

Look, life is precious. If you are not growing, you are dying. If something is not making you happy, if something is not growing you, it is killing you. If something is NOT adding value to your life, let it go. Remember, to let go is to let in.

‘Are you willing to be vulnerable?’

If you want to grow, if you want to improve yourself, your life, being vulnerable is the way to go. If you are not willing to be vulnerable, you will not know what you can do to change your life. If you want to grow, being vulnerable is everything. It is the way.

‘Are you a victim, or are you a victor?

You are a winner. You are not a loser. You are a doer, a producer. according to Iyanla Vanzant, ‘As long as you are a victim you will have someone to blame, someone to hold accountable for what went on and what is going on in your life.’ If you think like that, it is not going to be easy for you to create the life you want for yourself.

Whatever is going on in your life, you can handle it. Don’t blame it on anybody. It is your own to face. If you can face it, you can move forward.

The question is, ‘Are you willing to take full responsibility for your life?’
