“And when you get to where you’re going, turn around and help her too. For there was a time, not long ago when she was you.”
An overwhelming feeling for many women is they are not enough. Feelings of inadequacy, inferiority and worthlessness are a common human experience. Comparing yourself to others in ways that you feel you’re lacking is all too common.
A change in perspective can change everything.
Maybe you had that woman and mentor who inspired you. Perhaps she encouraged you to take risks or helped you find your voice. Maybe she simple listened quietly, but for the first time in your life, you felt heard.
As women become more powerful, they’ll pass it on in all kinds of ways.
Think about the direction and empowerment that one simple act could spark. Imagine a woman not getting caught up in where she falls short and instead focuses on her own standards for being the person she wants to be. Imagine a woman who lays the groundwork or fights the fight and passes on their knowledge.
Imagine women seeking out confident women who value one another. Imagine the impact of small acts of kindness. And imagine the invaluable experiences we have that are unique to women.
Use your new-found strength to help her too. You are so much more powerful than you believe you are.
A woman is unstoppable once she realizes she deserves better. There’s room for all of us.
