Anytime you are changing your life- and get to the point to where you are actually feeling extremely confident that you’ve succeeded- there are always going to be people that come along to try and knock you off that beautiful ornate pedestal that you’ve created for yourself.

Jealousy and envy run rampantly.  Therefore, always be aware of the presence of evil.  Nowadays misery doesn’t just love company; it demands it.

When you make that ultimate decision to become empowered, a lot of people will not be happy about that.  Most people will want you to stay wrapped up in their ways of thinking and doing things.  Trying to establish your own identity will become a threat to most, and you will find it hard to find stable support.

Today, trust yourself above all others.  Really try hard to find ways to get past your fears of rejection and abandonment.  Learn to stand on your own.  Learn to fight for yourself and all that you believe in.  Trust yourself enough to know that- in the end- you will be The Last Princess Standing.
