At Myrtle Beach someone said to me, “I can tell you came from a two parent household…” 🧐
I didn’t know whether to be proud or offended. 😅
I could tell that she meant it as a compliment. That I had a good head on my shoulders.
That I was so determined, I must have been from a family who had it all.
But that wasn't my life and I was actually offended by the assumption. 🤭
My mom and dad divorced when I was 3 and I only saw my dad on the weekends…
‼️But that didn’t mean I was brought up in a way that wouldn’t make me the successful person I am today‼️
I had a mom who BUSTED HER ASS! 💪
She worked three jobs half my life.
She had to live an hour and a half away in a crappy studio apartment and we lived with my grandparents to save money.
She spent less than 48 hours home on the weekends and most of that was spent at swim meets keeping up with my sister and I. 😪
She sacrificed so much for us.
I am proud to say...
-that my mom instilled a work ethic in me that is unmatched
-she taught me to I had control of my life
-she didn’t let me slack up
So when some random women said I must be from a two parent household, I was a bit offended, because my mom was a hardworking women who lead me to the life I’m living today!!
She instilled so much in me that I couldn’t learn from school through her example.
I literally wouldn’t be the person I am today without her, my father, or my grandparents, but that doesn’t mean I had to come from a two parent household.
I used to be that woman that busted her tail working 3-4 jobs at a time. That was my life for 5 years.
Now I bust my tail working on my business but that’s because I’m actually passionate about it and love it deeply.
I don’t really feel like I’m doing work anymore. (Partially from good strategy, partially from passion)
I’m so grateful for my hustle.
I know people will knock it, but it’s how I thrive.
I get it honest and I really wouldn’t have it any other way.
Anyone else seem to inherit a hustle they love?
