At any large party I attend,
I always meet someone
(usually female)
who introduces herself as just…
just an accountant
just a romance writer
just a mother of three.
Nothing drives me crazier.
No one else is thinking
‘oh, she’s JUST an accountant.’
Every job/role is important.
I’m a romance writer (sometimes)
and I’m damn proud of it.
I sell optimism and hope.
I manipulate my reader’s emotions
so when she ends my story,
she’s happy and hopeful.
THAT, my friend, is POWER.
I’m not just… anything.
If you catch yourself saying
‘I’m just…’,
that is YOU talking.
That is YOU not being excited about your career
and odds are,
if you’re not excited about your career,
you’re doing a piss poor job at it.
Don’t be just an anything.
Find purpose in your career
or a career with purpose.
You have one life to change the world.
