Copied & changed and love the words…
MAKE MISTAKES. MAKE ENEMIES. MAKE HISTORY.
BUT NEVER MAKE YOURSELF SMALL.
The moment a woman stops asking for permission, people get uncomfortable.
Not because she’s wrong.
Because she’s no longer willing to shrink herself to fit someone else’s expectations.
You’ll make mistakes. Good.
You’ll outgrow people. Good.
You’ll be misunderstood. Good.
You’ll either be loved by others or not. Good.
None of those things define you.
What defines you is having the courage to keep showing up, to keep building, to keep betting on yourself—even when it’s uncomfortable.
Always, Think big and out of the box. Remember, you will have seasons harder than others. Don’t be like anyone, but yourself. Remember, your roots who got you to where you are today. Respect, your elders and work hard everyday. Be NICE and show manners everyday with Please & Thank You when others do nice things for you.
The women who change their family trees, build businesses from the ground up, work the long hours, and refuse to quit rarely have an easy path. They have grit, resilience, and the confidence to keep going anyway. They are not afraid of failure, because they have overcame storms bigger than failing, scars to prove it, but they will rise up to be even stronger if they stumble.
So dream bigger.
Work harder.
Stand taller.
Take up space.
Speak with conviction.
And never apologize for becoming the woman you were created to be.
