Being a woman is a highly potent disposition. You have an effect on the world by creating the world around you.
Great women have demonstrated great abilities. Being soft is hard. Every great woman who has influenced me directly or indirectly has proven that over and over again. Whether they are global leaders such as Mother Theresa, Indra Nooyi, Margaret Thatcher. Or whether it’s my own mom, sister, friend, or a woman selling things across the street.
My heart goes out especially to those street vendor women. You ever put yourself in that position? She does not have a management degree, she does not have the comfort of capitalism, maybe she does not even have a support system. The business world is not easy. Competition is fierce. She stands out there because of her life challenges. It takes great grit to sustain in the market. Some of the brightest, most intelligent women beat the streets with their brilliance. Hats off to those.
Mother is one of the most ancient professions on the planet. She taught the child how to walk, speak and behave, including how to behave with one’s own father. Can you imagine the world without a mother and motherhood? That would be so dry and boring.
Women are naturally endowed with intuition. That’s where the sensible approach to life comes from. Almost every intelligent woman I’m influenced by has a lot of common sense. They solve problems with simplicity. They use nothing but common sense.
I’ve never met a smart woman without patience. Moreover, women are gifted with the ability to endure the pain. They go through pain for better outcomes. It might be to keep harmony within the family, or to have better business results. Patience is an excellent instrument they use.
Clever women are creative. They create a magnificent inner world, the self and the world around them. Their creativity is boundless. Have you seen a little girl spend hours in front of the mirror trying to beautify herself and feel good? It’s an emerging creative power. Her creativity keeps her world exciting.
I observed that smart women are also loving. They love everything around them, including themselves. They nourish the relationship through their love.
Intelligent women forgive people. They pardon not only for others, but for themselves. Because they know this saves them much pain and energy by forgiving.
Smart women put their faith in God. They listen to their hearts because this is where God talks and listens to them.
The tales of women are endless. The best and brightest know their power and get the most out of it. They are at their source and become the powerhouse. They keep inspiring the world with their ingenuity. I repeat, being soft is hard.
Happy Women’s Day.
