BEING GUTSY WILL NOT KILL YOU

Confession. I worry about overstepping. It’s a thing. It’s old.

So. Very. Old.

It’s how I learned to “be” when I was a little girl.

Don’t stir up the pot. 

Don’t make a scene. 

It’s not worth it. 

Leave it alone. 

Living like that takes a tool on a woman and the little girl that’s inside of her, still. 

The little girl who longs to stir up the pot because she’s hurting and doesn’t know what to do with that pain. 

The little girl who needs to make a scene because she wants to be heard because she has something to say. 

The little girl who believes it is worth it. Because she is worth it. 

The little girl who doesn’t want to leave it alone because doing so makes her feel so alone.

The energy we hold inside when we suppress the need to let things out can do one of two things to us:

It can shush us forever, making us believe we are not worth the trouble.

OR…

It can make us gutsy AF. 

Which one do you choose?

I get that you, like me, don’t want to cause a scene if it will hurt someone’s feelings.

Then again… what about your feelings?

What about you?

Where do you fit into this picture of your life?

It takes guts to be the kind of woman who insists on living life on her terms. The first step is to figure out what your terms are.

And then, stand up for them with all the guts you can muster.

This is how we Woman UP.
