Don’t Be Ashamed of Your Dreams

Chase after them!

I used to be ashamed of the things I wanted in life. I felt unworthy of having anything good while other family members struggled just to make ends meet. It occurred to me that I could have my own thoughts and goals in life but somehow I felt it was wrong to want to be different.

But one day I told my grandma how I was feeling and she said, “You can't want things for other people. They have to want it for themselves. Go ‘head and live your life.” Her wisdom was a gamechanger and it’s one of the most powerful lessons in Unmothered.

Mama was right for so many reasons but the biggest one is you owe it to yourself to live up to your potential. The world is waiting, it is watching and we are all in need of what you will bring. So bring it! And don't be ashamed.
