A Woman's Love is Never Good Enough 2nd edition

Timeout!

It is time to stop molding our girls to please others. It is time to stop teaching our girls that they should bend over backward to make a man feel good about himself. A woman shouldn't ever have to belittle herself to make a man feel as though he is being the man.

It is time to stop a young woman from being manipulated to break her ass and tear herself down to the core in order to build a man up. Once she builds him up, more than half the time he leaves her to figure out the million-piece puzzle of life. Wow! It never amazes me how men forget who was there for them when they didn't have a damn thing to their name. It's timeout for that! Time expired.

It's time to stop allowing people to blame the woman for everything. As women, we try to figure out what they need, what they want; and the entire time we're stressing ourselves out and they don't give a shit as long as it's done. Hell, no. Timeout for that too! We do not give a rat's ass anymore—they are quick to blame us for their mess-ups and think we are supposed to make magic happen. It is time to let them deal with it and figure out how they are going to mend their shit. If they want to blame us, let them, who cares? Their shit isn't our problem.

Go ahead, blame the women. We are holding up the peace sign, smiling and laughing, feeling good as we press forward!

We are free and feel refreshed. It feels good to be the last one standing. We look at life totally differently, and we now see that it's okay to be a little rough around the edges.

It is time for self-fulfillment. Take a deep breath. Tell yourself that you are in love with yourself. You might be asking yourself, what's next? You have to realize that the struggle that was once laid on you wasn't your struggle to carry. We have to realize as women that most of the time the debts that we carry aren't our debts to pay off.

We accumulate other's people debts and make them our own. As we make them our own, their responsibilities fall solely on us. Now is the time to transfer their debt back into their account and let them figure out how they going to pay off their own debt. We, as women, need to realize we are not responsible for other people's debts, only our own, and we will finally see the load will be a lot lighter. We have to stop making life easy for other people. We give them life, yet they take life from us. We want to live, and it starts with self-fulfillment!

You are in your 'Ahah' moment, and goodness gracious, you are in the zone where nobody can interrupt your inner peace. As others' houses of cards fall down, you press forward because that isn't your problem. You are taking happy steps, your mind is on cruise control, and you've created a new and improved plan for your life. Life is good!

You're in the process of learning who you are, and you are loving every step. You've moved past needing the approval of others. The counterfeit emotions you once had from their judgment have burned away in the fire.

You are the author of your story, you are the narrative, and you choose to live and enjoy life!

Here and now, you are making a vow to love yourself wholeheartedly. Self-fulfillment is your outer and inner peace. You are loving the change in the wind. You have a sound mind. You are not worried about the things you cannot change. Storms come to clear the air. Your mind is renewed as you gain and fulfill your purpose in life.

Don't be afraid to step out, enjoy, and be free from everyone's worries. It is time to live for yourself without guilt or baggage. Smell the fresh air of freedom. You deserve it!
