Wisdom For The Week
Women have been learning from women all their lives. Whether it was in the kitchen of our grandmother's house, on the playing field with our athletic girlfriends, or in the classroom of female instructors, women have learned alot from other females. This is especially evident in entrepreneurship. Where the corporate environment tends to breed competition and the inability for women to share with each other, the entrepreneurial environment breeds openness and collaboration. Women are supportive, encouraging, and willing to share their knowledge with other women. It's the reason we are succeeding faster than men. Last week when I was in the midst of 500 women in two days, I walked away with more fortitude, strenghten and vision that I have had in a long time because women inspire me. Today's advice is based on three pieces of wisdom I learned from three special women over the past week.
Know your purpose: No matter how hard we try, we will always attract people who are jealous or envious of our endeavors. If you are truly achieve your goals, insecure individuals will try to make you look small so they can look tall. The best think you can do is to: know who you are; know who your true friends are; and have a strong purpose. Your purpose is not defined by what others think of you, it is what you define for yourself.
Support from the old and the new: Women come in and our of our lives. Some stay for the long haul, some for a defined period of time, some for just a day. No matter the length of time, we learn something from every woman we meet. Old friends know our soul and new friends see our current energy. Both are important to sustain us.
Let go and follow your instinct: Sometimes the women in our lives push us to think bigger than we would have if we didn't meet them. Sometimes women alittle bit older than ourselves have the exact wisdom we need to rise above our difficulty. Never stop inviting these women into your life. The wisdom from someone with a few more years of experience can lend the right perspective to our day.
