Girls Set the Ground Rule



"I'm not an Ordinary chick. I'm an Extraordinary Woman!"

Often females fall short of reaching their fullest potential because of distractions that become a part of their lives. Many times the distraction is male companionship, or difficult past experiential stronghold. Through her life experience, Andrenna encourages young women to strive for excellence in every area without compromising. She discusses how she overcame her obstacles. In addition, perfecting self before allowing someone to become a major part of her life, mainly male companionship is discussed. Inspiration and encouragement is evident page after page as explanation and advice is given on abstinence and the value of your body, personal attitude, and influential power, starting over and accomplishing set goals in spite of the circumstances. God says that he will give you the desires of your heart, but you first must obey Him. In obeying God, He will propel you to the next level and ultimately to your destiny. Remember any female can be an ordinary chick, but it takes a girl who sets the ground rule to become an Extraordinary Woman!

 

Book Excerpt

Why didn’t I walk away? Why didn’t I make up in my mind that enough was enough? The answer to both questions is that I had low self-esteem. At the time, I thought Hashawn was all I had and could get because I was fat. Not knowing,



#1 – I shouldn’t be so deeply involved with him – being deeply involved with one person at a young age cuts off males to come in the future. You will become blinded and miss your date with “destiny”. Stay friends with males and don’t cross the line by sleeping with them or allowing them to call you girlfriend or wifey.



#2 – my primary focus should be on school or any project that needs completion. – I realized that when I had no male in my life I advance much further then having one. As I mentioned earlier finish school, start school, or complete an open project, focus on you, and bettering yourself in every area. Accomplishments will build your self-worth and you will be on the road to high self esteem in no time.



Lastly, number three which I think is most important.



#3 – any male should be honored to not only be in a relationship with me, but to be in my presences. I am a Kings kid, therefore all hail to the Princess! Everyone should know that you are a princess. You don’t have to always verbalize it, but your lifestyle should exhibit it. You should always carry yourself and be treated with the utmost respect. Demand respect and if any person doesn’t oblige then that relationship need to be severed.
