Life Should Humble You

Just wait on it | LadyPooja

Life has been filled with many surprises, and blessings. 2015, I cannot stress enough has been magical. I have no real complaints about life anymore... I am finally content, and am no longer worried about my future because **I** believe and KNOW it is going to be bright.

As I progress in life, and work on the many goals I want to achieve for myself. I hold on to a lesson my mother taught me from a young age. Remember the journey, and remember exactly where you came from.




You see.. I'm a first generation American born Indian, and I never truly understood what she meant by that. As an adult, my brother constantly reminded me of the same thing, but again.. I did not know what he meant, let alone what she meant exactly.

Then it dawned on me... remember where we came from meaning, all of us... where my parents are from, and where my brother is from.

My parents and brother were all born in India (though my brother was raised in America, he remembers his roots as though he was raised in the motherland--not saying this is a bad thing, just admirable).

Anyway, I constantly remind myself that life could have been entirely different for me, and my brother, but my parents chose to come to America, and live the American dream, which they did.

As I progress in life, and become more successful, that is something I want to do.. remember... remember where I came from, all of the hardships I was faced with which molded me into who I am today, and I am beautiful. Stating that does not make me conceited or vain.. it makes me confident.

Be confident... and tell yourself you are beautiful. As you excel in life... stay humble. Stay true, and don't change who you are because who you think you should be. People fall in love with people that are authentically them, and not trying to change who they are for standards they think they need.

On that note have a fabulous weekend,
