Rescue or Empowerment

 

"I was not rescued by a prince; 

I was the administrator of my own rescue."

Elizabeth Gilbert

There was a time culture trained women to falsely believe or fear  they could never succeed on their own.  Even if strides were taken with courage towards liberation, arrangements were made for a destined failure.  For generations we were told our place was in the home and men would rule the world.

The current women of recognized success have fought personal and public battles to win the freedom to be whomever and whatever they want to be and it has come at a high price.  Access to female icons, mentors, or way seekers were deliberately blockaded. The next generation of women have gathered strength to embrace freedom and are propelling themselves out into the world.

A sense of self once created will be guided. How much time do you give to dramatic thoughts? Have you historically leaned towards depression or empowerment?  What turning point will lead you to a better life that will set a respectful reflection of who you were meant to be?
