International Women’s day and its significance for me
Everyday is good, when you feel respected, loved and appreciated, in that order. Things go awry when people cross boundaries and step on toes.
This International women’s day it is important to respect the individuality of every person. This probed me into thinking what would have caused the women to celebrate extensively. There are various reasons that I can list to start with:
- Women were subjected to the pressures of the society since time immemorial.
- Women have to do double duty managing home and work.
- Some women had to work to make ends meet in ancient times.
- Women face health issues by the time they are 45 (half life) and things change drastically. This happens to men as well in less proportions.
Let’s step backwards a bit and analyze. There was one way to live a happy life as seen by our ancestors for women — grow up, get married and search for your happily ever after. Now, all the women know that there is no “Happily Ever After (HEA)” there is effort to be made everyday to make the “HEA” true.
Today women must realize
1. Define your HEA and chase it
2. DO NOT bend to pressures
3. You have one LIFE, LIVE IT!
4. Age is just a number, be curious
As a woman you hold wealth of knowledge physically and mentally. Now train your spiritual self to look at the positives and ameliorate the negative feelings, once you do that, everyday will be women’s day. Appreciate Appreciate, and appreciate your peer women for resilience, perseverance and determination do not detest them.
As women, if we must imitate men, we should learn to collectively celebrate wins. Wins can be having a baby, getting married, getting a college degree, getting a job, getting out of toxic relationships. Women spend a lot of time feeling inferior to other women, get over that! Not everybody is created equal, but you can nullify the gap by putting in excellent effort to win!
Lets win by holding hands!!
