Be the Boss || Acharya Prashant

A woman only has a body. That’s the world we live in. The world you are a womb. What? They want you to get married so that you can play little cute games with the man. What else is marriage? Go procreate. Get us a few toys to play with in the name of furthering the clan. If you are well educated, use your education for your empowerment. And that power will give you the leverage to live life on your own terms.

Else anybody, everybody, they’ll ride rough shot over you and you will internalize it. One resists only to the point there is a point in resisting. No. And after that point, what do you do? You succumb. You surrender. You give into the situation. You start pretending as if you are in the situation by choice. In fact, you start siding with your hunters.

You start acting as if your oppressors are your well-wishers because you know very well there is no point resisting anymore. You flip sides. Let that not happen to you. Keep everything else off your mind. Build yourself up and gather strength. This is a very loveless world. It knows only the language of power. Be that boss.
