I'm suddenly aware of how fierce about my money I've become. Over the years I tried to squeeze in the easy slot of womanhood, to not be so damn thursty. But I am, and I can't pretend that bullshit doesn't bother me. I'm about my business, but I'm surrounded by people who are not about they business... (I distort english on purpose). I end up looking like I'm forever PMSing. That being said, I know I won't die unsuccessful. Once upon a time, I put on my facebook status an African proverb; The lion does not turn around when the small dog barks. What does this mean? A Lion protects all members of it's pride and dares anything to test it's gangsta. The Lioness hunts with fierce passion, proves she's a killer, but can still treat her cubs with the ultimate gentleness. Lions roam freely, set up boundaries and claim any territory they want. Not because they cut up and punk everything around them, but because they are so fierce, so together, so about they business that nothing fucks with them. Their respect is inherent and non-negotiable.
The small dog. That issue makes a whole lotta noise. Dressed in pink sweaters and shit, chilling in an oversized purse. No control, No territory, and only gets attention when someone decides to pet it. It's time-out to want to be decorated and carried around! It's time out for proving points and wondering why you're not getting anywhere! My life is about prosperity. Monetary multiplication. I want everyone in my pride pulling their own weight, I set boundaries in my life because I'm allergic to bullshit and I can't have it oozing into my space and shit, but they don't determine how far I can go. I can break out of my comfort zone to handle business.
This is all I have to say to you all. Be so fierce with your goals and decisions that respect is non-negotiable. You might have to go out searching for what you need alone, do what you gotta do. Alot of times you'll have people depending on you when your head alone is barely above the water, but get more territory anyway and make room for you and yours. Attack negativity with a killer mentality, but treat others with a Lioness gentleness, balance it out. When you realize who you are and your potential, foolishness becomes a thing of the past. Negativity, selfishness, and using others is beneath you. Get on your business.
