Conserve your energy. Focus on thoughts that matter. Use your time to advance, to progress, to grow, not to dwell on what someone thinks about your ability to advance, to progress, and grow.

Y'all know how I'm built, but you don't know why.

Asking people for advice and getting mad when it's not what you wanna hear is like eating food you know you are allergic to.

So, your nails are done, your hair is tight, and you have laid out a BOMB outfit for every day of the week! But your life is a hot mess. Finances in disarray got more shoes than savings, no plans for the future. Instead of organizing your closet, try "handling your business" on for size. The package isn't worth much if there's no substance to what's inside.

Have you ever really ( I mean really, really) thought about what we as women, as supHEReroes, can accomplish if we worked together? The barriers we would undo, doors we could knock down, glass ceilings we could obliterate? We are so much stronger together than we are separate. Think about that.

Stop pinning your hopes on others to elevate you. Stop looking to someone else for validation. Stop expecting another person to change your life or give you what you want. It’s your LIFE. Your goals. Your dreams. Your future. Go after it. Fight for it. Make it happen. Appreciate everyone who supports. Be grateful and humble always. But never forget, the only person that has your best interests at heart 100%, 24/7, 365, is you.

Surround yourself with friends that talk TO you and not ABOUT you if they have a problem WITH you.

Y’all know how I’m built, but you don’t why.

Workout Regimen to build a tough skin: Warm up on the “I’m doing ME” treadmill. Build resistance on “You must be mistaking me for someone who cares about your opinion” elliptical. Get your heart rate up with a “The more you try to hurt me, the stronger I become” spin class. End with “If God is with me, nothing can stand against me” cool down. The stronger YOU are, the weaker THEY are.
