Young ladies today still suffer from low self esteem, low self worth.. why? because too often they are seen in the light of the current media situation. We are only judged on what we wear, how we look, skinny we are. Smart girls/women are not valued. Girls of substance and intelligence are often shunned unless someone needs a tutor or the answers. This society values women on their looks.... period. But girls you are so much more than your looks, your body shape.
Women were put on this earth with their own paths, purposes and passions to explore and discover. Those that give into societal pressure early in their lives, tend to have self esteem and self worth issues. They feel invisible. I don’t matter, I don’t look like, sound like or seem like those that are “in style”. Well dears, being in style is not where it is, nor will it get you very far in your personal growth.
Girls are still being told to “Do what you should” ie; get married, have kids.. be a good girl, wife and mother. I’m not saying that being these things is wrong by any means. I’ve done that route.. and personally found it fulfilling in one way but unfulfilling in others.
It left me totally void of a personal life. I had no idea who i was...what about my life, my path and purpose and passion. I am in my late 40’s and just now coming into my own, finding myself and my passion and living it all out loud.
Ladies, young ladies in particular....Go out there..Dream big..DREAM LARGE!! Ask yourself this question: “If money were of no object, if i could do ANYTHING in the world what would it be” What do i love to do more than anything else... That is ur passion.. Do you feel led to doing something out of your heart.. your “gut intuition”. Women are blessed with “intuition” that tells them if something is right or not. Act on that.. Don’t settle for what society, religion tells you is the “Thing to do, should do, to be acceptable in our eyes” Do what your heart tells you is right.. not your head!
Get out there and cause trouble! “Well behaved women rarely make history” So get out there and tell society to take a hike.. Live your life on your terms, your passion, your path that you feel led to be and go. Don’t settle because you feel it is the right thing to do, or I can’t do better because i’m seen as a nothing by society or others.
Sit down and have an inner dialogue with yourself..take deep breaths and sit in the quiet and ask yourself.. is this what i really want my life to be like, is this what i want to live? IS there more for me out there than what i am seeing? If i take this step away from the “expected” will i still be loved is a big one for most young ladies and older ladies as well. Will my family still love me, and am i loveable as I am? What is your true personality.. the one you only show to your true friends?? That is your true self.. don’t wait to show this true personality to the world. Hiding it away causes problems down the road, ones of resentment, being unfulfilled, done my duty.. settled etc. It can also cause depression, anger and health issues.
Be the woman you were created to be.. you come from unconditional love.. into unconditional love.. society has taught you fear, anger, greed, hatred, racism, bigotry and judgement. Don’t let that run your life. Love who you are.. and to do that you must be who you really are. Loving yourself gives others the knowledge to know its ok to love you. Be you, be true.. be love and be a strong WOMAN!
