Why "Privileged" Matters
Let’s break it down. Someone once said to me, “You’re privileged.” My answer? “Yes, I fucking am.” I’m not going to pretend otherwise. Why? Because that would be denying the very reality I created for myself. That’s not humility—that’s self-sabotage. So, no, I’m not going to downgrade my worth to make anyone else feel more comfortable.
- I’ve built a life of significant value.
- I am an asset in myself.
- I earned my way to the top.
And that is worth protecting. I’m not downgrading my worth to make others feel comfortable. You want to feel better about your own situation? Get up and upgrade your life instead of dragging others down. Stop lowering the bar in life for us as a whole.
Instead, I challenge you to claim it for yourself.
Why are you taught to reject the word privilege? Look at the synonyms:
- Wealthy, rich, affluent, prosperous.
- Lucky, fortunate, special, favored.
Sure sounds like everything most people are trying to manifest, doesn’t it? So, what’s the issue? Why are you so quick to shame the very words that describe the life you want to attract? If you shame something, you can’t ever have it. You’ll never attract it to yourself.
Words are tools. They’re power-packed keys to creation. When you shame a word like privileged, you’re literally pushing away the energy it holds. How are opportunities supposed to flow to you when you reject the words that describe the life you’re trying to build?
The next time someone tries to throw “privilege” at you as an insult, flip it on them. Claim it. Declare it.
Say: “I AM PRIVILEGED IN LIFE.”
Don’t let anyone shame you out of owning your worth. You are worthy. You’ve always been worthy. Privilege doesn’t mean taking from others; it means knowing you are deserving of the opportunities that come your way.
