Dear Cowgirl, Don’t You Dare Give Up

Dear Cowgirl, 

White lilies don’t grow on stalks of clover. 

If someone doesn’t like the real YOU, let them go. It’s okay.  

People will laugh. 

They will make up things. 

They will lie about you. 

They will say your dreams are crazy. 

They will tell you success is not possible. 

They will warn you to take the “safe” road. 

And then they will use your ideas. 

They will copy you. 

The things they once laughed at you for will be their inspiration. 

Then, they will feel the strain. 

And begin to check in on you. 

And begin to begrudgingly admire that you never quit. 

Dear cowgirl, use them. 

Use these voices. 

Use the hate. 

Use the words. 

Use the lies. 

Use the anger others have towards you. 

Utilize it as fuel… 

Then go out today and make every single damn dream or aspiration come true.  

I challenge you!  

Do ten things today that will get you closer to your dream… and know this. There is at least one person right here who knows you can do it.  

I believe that you have a purpose—a beautiful point to your existence and an incredible future waiting through your dreams. 

Dear cowgirl, don’t you dare give up.
