Happy International Women's Day

“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.” 
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Happy International Women's Day for all you beautiful ladies out there. I believe in the power of Women. Whether you are old or young, we all have tremendous power within us. Our voice matters. Our vision matters. We matter. So, don't fall into the pitfall of how women "should" or "shouldn't" act. Those are the things that created by humans. Not what the Universe wants us to be. The Universe doesn't put limitation on us. We do. Sometimes other people do it for us. Sometimes we do it to ourselves. Why? We are afraid that whether if we are doing it right or not. We are afraid that what other people might think of us. And most of all, we are afraid that maybe we are not good enough.... And this isn't only for women, but for everyone. We are afraid that we are not good enough.


I watched this TED Talk by Reshma Saujani a day before IWD. It gave me chills. It did. Our behaviors and belief, our lack of confidence and bravery are not only affecting ourself but our future generations. Children mirror adults. They learn from us. And it creates bad cycles. If we are not brave enough to make mistakes and or to take risks, we will not develop our confidence or build self-esteem. But without confidence or self-esteem, we will not try to take that risk. Again, we fall back into that pitfall. We will always be afraid of what other people would think of us, whether we are doing it right or not, or maybe we are not good enough... I don't want us to be that way any more, or the next generation to grow up with that bad cycle. Take risks. Jump into unknown. Try something new. Be willing to look silly. Be willing to be wrong. And don't be afraid of what others might think of you. The truth is that people will think of whatever they want to think of you. And most of the time, they are worried so much about themselves and they are not even worried about you. You are worrying about yourself, she's worrying about herself, he is worrying about himself. So, why do you spend your time worrying about what others would think of you? Everything in our life is it's easier said than done. It takes courage to get over that fear, if we ever could get over it. We don't need to look perfect for others. We don't need to do right thing all the time. We learn from making mistakes. We learn to stand from falling down. We are here to grow. If we don't try, how can we ever learn anything? We don't have to be perfect. As a matter of fact, we will never be perfect. Even the most confidence person in the world, would have his or her bad day. I assure you. We are not a finish product. And that's exciting because we have more room to grow.

Know that you are good enough. Know that you are beautiful. Know that you are talented. And we cannot do this on our own. I cannot do it by myself. You cannot do it yourself. We need to do it together. You and I. Men and Women. Boys and Girls. Old and Young. Every colors and every ethnicities. We all need to do it together. We need to realize that we are all in this together. We are HUMAN. Whatever you do, you are not doing it for yourself, but you are doing it for everyone else as well. What you've been holding back to say, might be something others might needed to here. The idea you have might help solve the problem. The fact that you step up could inspire so many people. Be responsible for your life. You being responsible for your life will ultimately result in the greater good of the Universe. You are here for reasons. Don't be afraid. And when you are, go back to the place of love. Always, from the place of love.
