A toast to all She-roes

Every day is truly special in life, every moment, every single second is a chance for one to do better in the now. To appreciate all that is with them and that has carried them forward at that moment. Now, is always a powerful place to be.

Right now it's International Women's Day, a day where the celebration of women's accomplishments and an appreciation of their struggles is recognised. However, what of tomorrow?

Consistency and sustainability of ideals is always crucial to ensure a better tomorrow. The core message of this day, this NOW should not be forgotten or ignored.We need to as Mia Hamm put it, "... celebrate what we've accomplished, but raise the bar a little higher each time we succeed."

When I think of this day I am also reminded of a quote from Women who run with wolves by Clarrisa Pinkola Estes, it goes:

"A woman must be willing to burn hot, burn with passion, burn with words, with ideas, with desire for whatever it is that she truly loves. One will arrange that one's creative life has consistent fire under it."

 

 

Appreciation of self as all good psychiatrists will tell you is a vital part of well-being. We as women need to recognize our accomplishments, and love with passion all that is good for us. We should collectively strive for a better future tomorrow, by always remembering that at this moment we have the ability and capability to affect our now.

 

 

 

Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so you shall become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil.
-- James Allen
