Loud: Accept Nothing Less Than the Life You Deserve

by Drew Afualo

There is no right way to be a woman, only your way.

Knowing your worth (and holding on to it even tighter during setbacks) will save you from the person who is many times your own worst enemy: yourself.

Work hard, but within reason, and never just to promote some toxic standard of what young and “hungry” professionals should be capable of.

Once you start the mental exercise of imagining yourself as someone you love and respect, my hope is that it will spark the journey of believing that you are someone who deserves that same level of love and respect.

The key to manifestation is being able to identify that desire, name it out loud, and then really allow yourself to imagine it happening with no restrictions.

This is your life. Don’t waste one second of it living for anyone but yourself.
