One of the online school teachers approached me for advice today. She recently became a single mom. I am very honored to be looked upon as a strong woman. I gave her sound advice + emphasized the importance of creating support webs around us coz we can't do alone.
Surround yourself with those who hold same level of high standards. You are a direct result of them. If you hang around people who mock marriage, mock value of true friendship, mock value of being courageous. Or surround yourself with people who like to hustle others, people who have almost the excuses in the world to live in poverty or snobby people who like to judge & condemn others, etc. It will rub off on you either way.
For myself, I've created different webs around me so when I fall I know they are there. Life is too hard to handle everything coming at us alone. We were created for relationships.
I have a web of strong deeply spiritual friends. A web of true friends I can really trust with my life. A web of strong committed mothers. And a web of wealthy mentors. Well rounded. Its a no fail system we can all create for ourselves.
