Self-worth, Abundance, And The Goddess Called YOU

Self-worth, Abundance, And The Goddess Called YOU Youre a goddamn Goddess.   Now, stop apologizing. Get over it, and embrace your place in the world.   What Im saying is that its time to break out of the bonds that have held women back for so long.   Based on social expectations, so-called norms, and thousands of years of a predominantly patriarchal society, its time for the growth-limiting path weve been on to end. Like many if not most of us, Ive had an inner struggle going on.   Its about all the news weve heard over the last 18 or so months.   Sexual misconduct on the part of men.   There, see, I just did it again.   Its not misconduct, its ASSAULT. My struggle was specifically about the role that women might play in . . . encouraging? . . . assault. Im being brutally honest here we do in fact sometimes if not often dress and present ourselves to impress, even to get a response.   And yes, it does go beyond dressing for success.   Its a muddled, silent conversation, mixed with frustration, anger, guilt, confusion, and . . . a LOT more anger.   I know, because Ive been on the receiving end of such very uninvited assault. Are you ready to embrace real self-worth, abundance, and the Goddess called you?   Read on. Getting A New Clarity Sometimes, if you search long enough and your desire is strong enough, the answers finally come.   For me, that happened recently when Ms Career Girl shared an article by Heidi Stevens from the Chicago Tribune.    Pardon the long quote, but theres no way to relate what she said in fewer words: I wonder why we understand ownership so much better when we’re talking about a person’s prized possessions than when we’re talking about a woman’s body. I’ve never once heard a man explain away a burglary by questioning why a homeowner bothered taking such good care of his house if not to entice others to break in. Lawn mowed just so. Solid oak front door. Three-car garage. Why do you make your house so attractive if you don’t want someone to break in and start taking stuff? I’ve never once heard a man explain away a carjacking by questioning why a driver bothered driving such a nice car. Why are you driving a Lexus if you don’t want someone to take it from you? You even keep it all shiny and new-looking. You don’t think that sends some kind of message? Finally.   Something that makes sense.   As I read it I felt a physical release.   The conflict is over.   In no way was it my fault  just because I was doing the best I could with the body Id been given.   My body. Damage Done, And Undone With that kind of inner turmoil going on, its pretty difficult to see and reach your potential.   Think about how those kinds of thoughts effect your feelings of worthiness. About how much its limited your feelings of self-worth, and kept you from understanding the Goddess that resides in you, and each of us. It might take some time to undo the programming and damage.   Or, maybe youll respond as I did and have an abrupt moment of just being over it.   Either way, getting back to the real you and understanding and accepting yourself for who you are, no apologies, is something youve got to do.   Theres peace out there.   And a calm confidence that awaits you. If youre challenged with this new perspective, I recommend you take a look at Ava Miles Goddesses Deserve The Gs.   The author leads you through a transformative journey that will bring you face to face with the Goddess called you. Lets Move On Its time to insist that those guilty of all things that have held women back be fully accountable and responsible for their actions. From discrimination, all the way to assault and rape, its the perpetrator who must be called out.   And, its time for women to claim, insist, on their rightful place at the table.   Whats that look like, you ask?   Heres some   of the tips from Taking Your Place At The Table. When a rule, law, or regulation doesnt make sense, ask people why its there.   If their explanation doesnt make sense, work to change the rule. When you need help, approach the highest-ranking person you believe can help. Dont let impressive-sounding titles or official-looking buildings intimidate you. When people tell you, Youve pushed enough boundaries, pay no attention.   Wherever theres a boundary that doesnt serve people, it needs to be pushed aside or dismantled. When youre fed up with something, say so to the people in charge.   Otherwise, they may never realize or care that youre dissatisfied. Thats just a sample.   Check out the book for some very effective insights into stepping up and claiming what you deserve.   Including respect. Tomorrow Starts Today I like to say that tomorrow is going to get here whether we like it or not, and tomorrow doesnt particularly care what our life looks like when we get there.   Thats up to us.   By what we choose right here, right now.   If youre tired of the way things have been, now is the time to start creating   . . . demanding something better.
