When I was younger, society gave me an invisible checklist. It suggested that I should go to school, get a degree, graduate, find a βgoodβ job, get married and then have kids. And hey, thatβs what some people want and thatβs great. But I donβt and Iβm not a product on an assembly line. Instead Iβve created my own list of goals and ambitions that reflect who I want to be. So next time during an interview or at a family party, if you want to know why I donβt have a husband yet at the age of 26, itβs because my purpose on this planet isnβt just to be somebodyβs wife. Iβm more than that. And all my sisters, youβre more than that.
Donβt limit yourself to daydreaming about your wedding entrance or how your outfit will look. Daydream about being president, making a difference in the world or having your dream job. Itβs scary to go beyond the limits that have been placed on you, but trust me when I say from experience, itβs so worth it. You will change the world.
One day, you may become a wife or a mother and those are special positions to have. But please do not live your life thinking marriage and motherhood is your purpose on this planet. You are more than your ability to nurture and bare children. You have a unique brain and skill set that can help you achieve whatever you set your mind to, provided you work hard for it. So start working.
Create your own path and donβt be scared if it has less traffic than the main road.
