You Belong Wherever You Want to Belong
Be yourself; everyone else is already taken. -Oscar Wilde
Alright guys first off I wanna start this off by saying I’m really not a reader. I really wish I could find more time for it, But I suggest you find the time to read this book. Hands down one of the best books I’ve read. If you need some motivation in your life purchase the book!
Before each chapter there is some kind of motivating quote for example: “I never dreamed about success. I worked for it.” -Estee Lauder
I’m huge on quotes or fun little sayings so that’s something I loved about this book. I don’t wanna spoil it so I am going to give you a little description from the back of the book….
Sophia Amoruso spent her teens hitchhiking, committing petty theft, and scrounging in dumpsters for leftover bagels. By age 22 she had dropped out of school, and was broke, directionless, and checking IDs in the lobby of an art school. A job she had taken for the health insurance. It was in that lobby she decided to start selling vintage clothes on eBay. Flash forward ten years and she’s the founder and executive chairman of Nasty Gal, a $250-million-plus fashion retailer with more than four hundred employees. What an inspiration. Talk about a #girlboss.
#girlboss is someone who’s in charge of her own life. She gets what she wants because she works for it. As a #girlboss, you take control and accept responsibility. You’re a fighter, you know when to throw punches and when to roll with them. Sometimes you break the rules, sometimes you follow them, but always on your own terms. You know where you’re going, but can’t do it without having some fun along the way. You value honesty over perfection. You ask questions. You take your life seriously, but don’t take yourself too seriously. You’re going to take over the world, and change it in the process. You’re a badass.
Raise your hand if you agree! That is coming strait from the book. Talk about wanting to take control and chase your dreams. When I finished this book I was literally like, Damn time to go get what I truly want. Hustle, work hard, stay positive and go get what you want!
