I AM WOMAN!

 

To all the Superladys!

This post is for you!

On the 8^th March 2021, it is International Women’s  Day. Every year, this important day is honored throughout the world—a day when women, regardless of race, nationality, ethnicity, and religion, are celebrated.

 

I AM WOMAN.  International Women’s Day is a celebration of the present and a remembrance of the past. Because of brave, courageous, selfless, and motivated women, we can aim for work opportunities. Women have working rights and can be compensated for their work while being mothers and wives. We can educate  and establish ourselves in the careers we choose.

I don’t know the women that Marched for Women’s rights and equality, but I thank them for paving an easier path for me to follow.

 

I AM WOMAN. These words weighed heavier on me when I became a MOTHER!

What does being a woman mean?

My education was limited to what I saw in my community, on television, and in my family. I was a female, and one day I would be a mother and a wife. My husband would take care of my kids and me. The idea of me working and having a career is an option but not a must. My reality was a version of life I learned from my surroundings.

We are all born into different worlds, and no world is better than another; life is not perfect. LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT! 

 

I AM WOMAN. When I became a wife and mother, Facebook, Instagram and google did not exist. My access to information was from a library or the experiences of other women. I had to learn from my mistakes and realize that life was my best teacher. I was a mother to a young baby girl who would grow into a woman someday. I needed to create a world that was different from the one I knew. Just like a butterfly goes through cycles, I needed to change the cycle of life for her.

I needed to understand what being a woman meant. I’ve always believed that self-discovery will allow you to unlock the true person you are meant to become.

I was a young mum with only a high school certificate and the ability to take care of a home. I didn’t have the qualifications and experience to work, nor did I desire to leave my daughter in the care of someone else.

When you begin to form a relationship with yourself and become your own best friend, life begins to unfold before your eyes.

I wanted so much more for my daughter. I wanted her to accomplish more than me. I wanted her to be the best version of herself.

 

How can you teach another woman the meaning of strength, perseverance, courage, and bravery?

If you are not!!!

I didn’t know if I was strong and brave. I didn’t know if I had the courage to aim for opportunities and establish myself. I needed to believe that I could do anything.

The one thing that I’ve always known is that I wanted to live my best life.  So I took the steps that I needed to create a change.

I focused on educating myself. I devoted my time and energy to developing my mind and feeding my soul.

It was a difficult, tiring, and incredible journey. I created opportunities for myself and became a role model for my daughter.

 

As Women, we look for inspiration from other women.

We want the best for ourselves, but sometimes we don’t know which road to take.

I AM WOMAN.I didn’t want my daughter to look far. I wanted to show her that anything is possible. My education to her extended far beyond the safety of our home. I trained my body to run marathons and participate in sports. The discipline you achieve for yourself when you become actively involved in activities is amazing. Your mind is so busy thinking about what is next that you don’t have time or energy to focus on other people. You in a mental state of achieving goals cannot worry about what the next person is doing or saying. When you change your focus in life and aim high for yourself, you automatically silence your world’s negativity.

Your accomplishments and goals become the noise in your life!

I am always very sympathetic to others, and I write knowing that we are all different. My life is mine, and I hope it inspires all the MOTHERS and WOMEN to think.

Your life is yours, and you should own it!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with just being YOU.

To me, the most significant role I can have in my life is being a STRONG AND POWERFUL  MOTHER!

I AM WOMEN. A mother’s job is endless and priceless. Remember that when you become a mother that you are taking the responsibility of being a role model. Your children will watch you and develop a sense of life through your existence. If you want the best for your children, you need to start making sure you have the best.

Only you can become the change. 

Whatever you do in life, always be mindful that we are human and not perfect. Life is always going to teach us a lesson. We need to be ready to learn and grow from our mistakes.

I AM WOMAN.

YOU ARE WOMEN!

We need to start supporting each other and accepting one another if we want to continue to pave the way for future WOMEN!
