Spoiler Alert:- Reading whatever I typed out below is the one thing you can never unread once done. Why? It is one of the most avoided topics ever (at least on my side of the world).
My advice? If you cannot take the blatant truth then, it is not too late to run.
For those who chose to stay...you are obviously curious to know what all the racket is about and, I sure hope I make this worth your while.
What Is The One Destination We All Share?
Take a moment to ponder the above question.
Lol, okay I am a weirdo and I have dragged this out long enough.
Ever heard the saying:- "Everyone Wants To Go To Heaven, But No One Wants To Die"?
That's right, the destination we all share is to kick the f*cking bucket.
Yeah, not a glamorous subject. I know. Remember running away? You can still do that..... or.....stick around and read on.
Personally, I am writing this because I am afraid. The fear is not because one day I will be no more, and almost everyone will not remember me (seriously the world will keep right on spinning and it will seem like I never existed at all), but because of the heart broken few I will leave behind.
Now that I know this, and hard as it is I have sort of made peace with it, here is my question... Why The Heck Should I Live A Mediocre Life?
Why exactly should I listen to what the nay-sayers keep yapping about? Why should I live life without achieving financial freedom and enjoying it for the rest of my life (however long that it)? Why should I give up on my dreams of affecting my generation positively, and proving that a lady, from my background, can do whatever she sets her mind to? Why, why, why?
So many whys.
They say money doesn't bring happiness..... poverty does?
They say money is the root of all evil..... I believe it is also the root of all good.
They say money does not grow on trees..... Got that one right. It certainly doesn't. Unless, of course, you plant the right seeds.
They say there isn't enough to go around..... Keep believing that and you won't get any.
They say you are crazy to think you can be, do, see and have more..... They're right. I am crazy. Crazy enough to think I can make something of myself. Crazy enough to think I can become someone of meaning in this world. Crazy enough to think I can become someone my parents are proud of.
Oh yes, I am crazy with a capital "C". Currently the reigning queen in "Crazy City" even.

Now I ask:- Will You Allow What Others Think Affect The Way You Live Life?
I honestly don't give a hoot what your goals are. It could be to live a modest life or to become the richest man/woman in your country (heck maybe the world).
What are you doing about it?
Your time is running out (like mine is).
MAKE IT COUNT.
