is waiting to be unleashed!
Isn’t it time to unleash your Alter Ego Superhero? Come on! Trust me, empower yourself to unleash her. That is exactly what I have or rather what I am working on doing every day. Every woman should unleash her Alter Ego Superhero! Go ahead…. look in the mirror. She is in there just waiting to save the day…. your day! That little piece of yourself buried deep down inside of you. That piece of you that believes in you no matter what and always comes to your rescue. Your Super Hero! And let’s be honest, we have all daydreamed at some point in life about being a superhero. I can’t tell you how many times I almost crashed that invisible plane when I was a young girl or did the Wonder Twin Power Activate bump with my BFF. Think of your Alter Ego Superhero as your personal internal superhero. Instead of saving the world by leaps and bounds you can be the superhero that saves yourself by committing to Lifting yourself up, Pushing yourself forward and Pulling yourself to a better, healthier and happier tomorrow.
Curious about the straw that broke my back? What really happened that caused the unleashing? It probably won’t surprise you to know it was not just one thing. It was years in the making. Simply put, I finally got sick and tired of playing the “game” which requires me to be complacent, accepting and not MORE transparent than the person asking me the question really wants me to be. You know what I mean. The boss, a friend or someone with some type of “power” over you asks you a question and you know if you don’t answer the question with what they want to hear all hell will break out and you basically just put the bus in gear to run your own butt over. So, while you are thinking “that is a horrible idea” to what they just asked you, the words “best idea ever” robotically bounce out of your mouth while slightly stroking their ego on the way to their ears just as these words have done too many times in the past.
I got sick of people treating me as though I was disposable and replaceable. I am a loyal friend and employee, and I have walked on nails, sacrificed time and gave all of what I had to give to those that I was loyal to. To continuously not be shown the same loyalty or commitment can get pretty annoying and so my cup began to runneth over with some serious bitterness and resentment. I never really ask for much from people, but loyalty is a big one. It’s the binding agent of any relationship.
I got sick of the taste of blood in my mouth from biting my tongue and not fighting for myself or for my beliefs and values in fear of being reprimanded in some fashion for having my own thoughts. Have you ever spent much time with those people that ask “what do you think,” but they really don’t care what you think? Especially if it is different than what they are thinking. They are just building their own little army of robots. Those that have known these people know! You get fewer phone calls, fewer invites, and fewer opportunities. And let’s be honest, it is not just men doing this to women. It’s women shaming women for having a belief system, an ethical compass or a different opinion. This sounds like a topic for an upcoming blog. Stay tuned…..
I got sick of ME treating myself as though I was not worthy of respect because nothing I did was ever good enough. I got sick of being in fear of letting myself down and letting those around me down. I got sick of fearing the possibility of failure. I got sick of self-doubt and not believing in myself. I got sick of not being ME- strong, confident with a winning spirit. I got to the point I didn’t even believe in myself anymore! The once overachiever, Can-do-anything kind of gal who always wore fabulous shoes no longer believed in herself. I so wanted her back. I longed for her to return to me. I couldn’t do it alone. I needed one person to believe in me! Just one! And that one person needed to be ME! So, I did the only thing I could. The only thing that could save me. I unleashed HER from the depths within me! MY ALTER EGO SUPERHERO! My Superhero! Created for me, by me. She has come to my rescue! She has saved me from me. She believes in me! She reminds me I am strong! I am smart! I am important! I have a purpose! She makes me strong, confident and invincible. She is exactly who I need my Superhero to be- she is ME.
SHE IS PHAT MAVERICK! She is LIFTING, PUSHING & PULLING me for my stronger tomorrow. Are you willing to unleash your Phat Maverick? Are your ready to fight for a stronger and better you?
So, here I go! I hope you will join me and Phat Maverick for a fun adventure all about being honest, positive and purposeful in lifting, pushing and pulling myself and others toward a better tomorrow.
Phat Maverick
