Your breakup is more powerful than you think and not for the reasons you might be thinking. Even the worst breakups have the power to show you what you are made of. It reveals strengths and powers you didn't think you had. Sometimes it is when we are at our lowest and weakest, is when we are really our strongest. Deep I know. Take that in for a minute. The most powerful thing about breakups is that they inspire change. Every relationship teaches us something. Your breakup is your gateway to your next level of greatness. How powerful is that?

Ariana Grande is not the first celebrity, nor will she be the last celebrity to bank from breakup. Breakups can inspire so many positive things believe it or not. Don't believe me, well you can take a page from Khloe Kardashian's Revenge Body. Rhianna believes that your breakup is a gift. What about Beyonce's Lemonade? When life throws you a breakup, hey make breakup lemonade. Just saying. Of course there is Cardi B who would rather have money than be heartbroken and broke. I totally agree. But Beyonce sums it up best, "always stay gracious, best revenge is your paper."  And we can't forget Taylor Swift who really is the epitome of Banking from Breakup (Breakup = Billboard Hit = Bank). So yes, Banking from Breakup is a thing and it's not just for celebrities. Anyone can bank from their breakup. It just requires you to decide and be a bit of a breakup rebel aka bada$$.
