OUT Of THE BLUE: Grandma's Unexpected Visit.

THREE

       “Love! You're still so young.You've got time to plan your future carefully.You shouldn't be so hard on yourself. No one ever gets it right the first time.”

       “Well, there's my brother.”

       “He's the exception.Whomever  gets it right the first time is the exception,not the NORM.”-“Let me ask you a question.How do you feel about people probably in their late twenties and thirties and are still trying to figure out their life?Does that mean they're useless,worthless and good for nothings?Does that mean they're failures?”

           “Of course not.”I replied.I would never think of anyone as a failure.Not when they're giving it their best shot.Grandma smiled at me.

         “Then why should you think different of you? You're young and smart.Hell,the first two...”

         “Actually three.”

         “...two,three businesses you started went downhill.So what?Get up your stiff behind and work on another project.As a young girl, anytime you felt puzzled or stuck,you would always ask yourself ‘What would Albert Einstein do?’ Where did that brave sweet girl go?”

I remember her.That was my mantra through childhood and school.It helped me with a lot of my decisions.I will never understand why I dropped it.“If you feel like you don't have enough knowledge to take it to the next level,go get your masters.Register for online business courses,do whatever.Failing doesn't define you.Your ability to get back up each time does.”

           “Is there anyone who would invest in someone like me?The longest had ever managed a business was six months.”

            “That's why you need to invest in yourself first.If you don't believe in yourself,no one will.Not a single soul.Invest in yourself so much that others would badly want to invest in you.Girl,you have a brother of a certain calibre.Take advantage of him.”

          “I don't want to rely on him.He made it without relying on anyone.”
          “There are different paths to success.You mustn't necessarily follow in his path.The reason he was determined to be successful in the first place was so that you and I,most importantly you, would be able to live your dreams without a hitch.His money equals your money.At least,till he decides to settle down and grow his family.By that time, I'm sure you would be able to stand on your own two feet.”

         “You are absolutely right.But I hate being indebted.Like arrgh.”

         “Then pay him back in ten folds.If he refuses,use it to get something valuable for him.You could buy a company's shares.There are many options, honey.”

            “Thank you Grandma.I was just scared.Scared that I will never get it right.”I hugged her tightly again.

           “For what?Just know that others would kill to have the opportunities you have.Your feelings are valid.Don't let me or no one make you feel like they aren't.You're scared?Then ‘Do It SCARED’.Walk down that tunnel scared.BE SCARED but walk through it.Fear shouldn't limit you.For what it's worth,it should embolden you.Take that risk.”

     “Take two!And action!”

        “And cut!”

Flashback to the day my Grandma visited.It was unexpected and out of the blue.The last thing she said was that I should try to strengthen the bond with my brother.And thankfully,we're inseparable now.He had not just given me the gift of his team when I presented my business idea to him but had also given me the chance to become a cool aunt to two beautiful twin boys.I'm grateful.Our parents died on us while we were still little but Grandma filled every single void.Even in her death,she was still there for us.It shakes me everytime I remember how I woke up to our latter interaction being just a dream.A DREAM THAT SHAPED THE SUCCESS STORY OF A YOUNG LADY.Just ONE DREAM!
