Everybody has their SHIT!

We often get bogged down on everything happening in life and sometimes we play the victim. Life isn't being as fair as it should be to us and all of these things keep going wrong. But why? Why isn't life perfect or at least not creating drama, heart ache and disappointment? Why?

"Everybody has their shit," said my new friend. And she is right.

No matter what we try and project to the world and convince others of, we still have our shit. Things that only we have to deal with. Things that rock the boat. That don't make our world's perfect. That challenge us beyond what some days, we can handle being challenged on.

Tonight was an incredible night. I sat enjoying a delightful meal with women who all own their own businesses, two of whom where married and the rest who were not.

The two that were married were blissfully happy, in a good space. But they are the first to concur that they have "their shit" to deal with.

Three of us who are single and getting up there in the age stakes. We have what everyone else would see as fortunate lives but yet we sit there thinking that our lives are not great, they could be better. They could be more perfect.

The glass changes from half empty to half full from moment to moment . But we are all human. We all struggle with the same issues. We all succeed in our own way. We stand out from a crowd, then sit back and wonder why. Our belly's have butterflies because we get excited at the thought of a new idea, yet we wonder why something doesn't go to plan.

Our brains work overtime. We wake at 2am in the morning. We feel empowered then deflated. Mostly we feel lucky to live the lives we have, to not have to worry about food or water or an unstable political environment. The next holiday, or business challenge is only what is in front of us, that is of course if you don't include wanting to be happily living with a man that rocks our world. Makes it better and makes us better. You know the type. The one that when we wake up in the morning and see asleep beside us, quietly snores and we think it is the most beautiful thing in the world to watch.

We are women... and we are entrepreneurs. We all have our shit - it's just how we deal with it!
