Insanely Short but Meaningful Article #9

Women writers here on Medium motivate and inspire women. Oprah Winfrey has been a huge motivator of women for years. “Rise up, and do great things!”, has been a commonly heard phrase. But what if I told you that, as a man, I was about to turn that whole thing on its axis? That all too many women have encouraged, inspired, and held the hands of women for the longest…and how some men were never around. Until now… On September 26th, my wife and I will celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary. She has stood by my side through thick and thin. She’s encouraged me without seemingly any doubts that I could accomplish great things, and became the very backbone of the relationship. She is the mover and the shaker more times than I am when it comes to her actions and being very giving of herself. To this day, I will admit that I’ve never been as thoughtful as her. I’ve always motivated and encouraged her to better herself. I WANT to see her succeed! To be better than I. And right now, she makes more money than I do. I run a cyclical eBay business, and sales haven’t been that good. She works the 9–5 doing what she loves, and that is being a Chef. I get angry if people don’t address her as “Chef”, because she is more than just a cook. I want her to be an Executive Chef or own her own restaurant one day, of which I’ll gladly work in! In a nutshell, I want her dreams and aspirations to come to fruition. We get a limited number of chances while living. So there should be NO REGRETS as we lay dying. <a href="https://medium.com/illumination/insanely-short-but-meaningful-article-9-15c1ac800607">Click Here</a>
