I know we have all heard the saying, "born with a silver spoon" right? Well I have been thinking about that a lot lately. I received a text from my sister saying that she felt like a failure and it literally pissed me off so bad. I told her I never wanted to hear those words come out of her mouth again. She didn't text me back after that because I think I might have made her mad but she knows I love her and only wants the best. We are certainly in difficult times, but this difficult time is even more difficult for some of us. There are some people in this world that absolutely want for nothing and have everything. The system in this country is so backwards that sometimes I don't understand. I worked darn hard to get an education, that wasn't free mind you, and continued to work hard to break my way into an industry that many people perceive to be so glamour filled and that couldn't be further from the truth. It is serious a hard time for millions upon millions of Americans.
It is so much easier some days to just drown yourself in your sorrow instead of getting up and doing something to change the situation. My sister who I spoke of at the beginning of this post is such a hard worker and does so much for others that often times she forgets that she needs to take care of herself. So I challenged her to work on that, to put herself first, to deal with the elephant in the room and take control of her life, and not to deal with the negativity and road blocks that may present challenges for her. I will take a challenge as well, to continue to make myself better and do what I need to do in order to ensure that I get a silver spoon. That way my spoon is long lasting because it will be a spoon that I worked very hard for.
