The art of complaining never worked for me

I am not the woman who stops when there is a defeat

I'm allowed to dwell and notice my mistakes

At the end of the day, I realize what it will take

There is a difference between growing into the woman you want to be

And the woman you need to be

The woman you need to be is for yourself

The woman you want to be is for the world

It is an ongoing journey to shape yourself for your destiny

Working multiple part-time jobs and being a full-time undergraduate is not easy

Make time for yourself and always remind yourself of the reason

At the end of the day, I like to remind myself of exactly what is important

I find it easier to complain

Because let's admit, we all say "I'm over it" at least a thousand times

Then we sink into our hole until we can crawl back into our skin and say we feel better

Yet, there is something about training your mind to be stronger than your feelings

I want to wake up every day and know I am capable and to know I am powerful

I say want because I still have those days when I don't

But those days are growing shorter and shorter in memory

I will never allow myself to be "over it" and relinquish all the results I have fought to achieve

Affirmations only become stronger when you give them the power

As women, not many people will exclaim your worth unless you do

To be who I need to be, I love claiming everything I am and will be

I admire the ability I have to be there for myself

Complaining and focusing on the negative things will force you to stay stagnant

Making excuses will stump personal growth

I choose to keep going

I choose to manifest my essence as my own superwoman

My life will be a reflection of my inner being

A reflection of the most vibrant parts of myself

A reflection of the God-given parts of my so
