I swear, if another person says to me I think I'm better than them,I'm going to spaz the HELL out. I honestly do not think I'm better than anyone! YES, I have my moments where I feel I'm a bit smarter and bit more mature BUT better? Nope not me.
However, if you must give it a title, call it my evolution... call it me growing up. I'm a WOMAN with a boatload of responsibilities. I'm a Business Owner, I'm a Mommy,Lover,Daughter, Sister, Aunt and Friend. I've learned the importance of balancing my life.
When something doesn't fit, I'm not going to force it. I like Marc Jacobs you like Prada. I'm not better( my taste is hahahaaa) I just like something different. You like going out I like doing things with my children. I'm not better, I just make different choices. You like to sleep around I'm content with one person. I'm not better, I just believe in one man one woman!
You like going out to eat, I'd prefer a dinner at home. It's nothing personal. I've just learned the importance of cooking meals at home. Money is saved, the meal is savored and it's quality family time.
You like to argue, sometimes I will too. However, I've learned to either shut up or put my dukes up. You're choice of which you get. Do me bad once shame on me, do it twice shame on you, do it a third time I'm the fool and the end result will hurt YOU more than it'll hurt me!
When you except who you are, that's a definite sign of maturity and growth. You understand who you are and what you represent. Because someone looking out cannot accept it, that's not your fault. Our lives are a true representation of what paths we've taken and decisions we've made. Don't allow someone ELSE's insecurities ruin who and what you are.
Too EACH his OWN. I didn't get to this place of acceptance over nite. It took some long hard years, tears, wrong turns and hurts. BUT, I'm here.. Call it what you must but please don't expect me to fuss when you say," I think I'm better, I honestly and truly Grew UP

- I'm Cheneka, simply put!! I'm a Mother, Author, Business Owner and Co-Founder of Women Who Network, LLC. I recently became a published Author: Strategically Being Mom. Book number 2 is currently in the works. A series on things I've learned while being a Single Mom. I was born to help heal others through my words and actions. My greatest Joys are my children and to help others. You can find me on Instagram; womenbldgnetwrk( business) neka_th( personal).
As always...you are ON IT!!! I'm above all the foolishness because I have responsibilities and little ones that look up to me. It's my job to set an example for them and they are watching all the time to see how Mommy reacts to certain people and certain situation. When your focus is on bettering yourself and your family, you don't have pettiness or little kid games. I'm grown butt woman with grown butt goals and responsibilities.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great article on maturity and growth! I also dislike when people say that you think you better than they are. It's childish and pointless. People change, people grow up, and they evolve.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to know that you are fully accepting of yourself. It took me a while to get to that point too. That's the stage when you no longer need validation or approval of others to feel good about yourself! Thanks for sharing! Great message!
