Rise to the opportunity you have to be first, not second-hand citizens. For many years, many females historically have stood up loud and proud to make changes that reverberate today. Names that come to mind are, Eleanor Roosevelt, Marie Curie, Saint Mother Theresa, Sandra Day O'Connor, Indiri Gandhi, Pearl Buck, LaDonna Harris, Louisa May Alcott, Susan B. Anthony.
From what I read there are still major problems like pay inequality, veteran's care, and much more, but another female is willing and has the ability to correct these inadequacies. Trust seems to be a major issue but as I watch TV and read many reviews, there is constant repetition of the same old story. The women I mentioned struggled hard to overcome their own issues because, as I see it, they were in the minority. Nevertheless, they pursued their beliefs with some putting their lives at great risk. Were they viewed as trustworthy? The answer to that is really revealed historically. Read their biographies and then make your decision.
When you fight for getting a voice that benefits people you may be called an opportunist, self-serving, dishonest, and yet you keep moving on toward your beliefs.
When you sit back and complain but are not active, you lose. When you attack another human being, without any evidence, you lose.
Some of us only hear what sounds great. Do you honestly believe everything you hear?
Can you sift through the rhetoric and decipher the truth? This is true in your personal and professional life. Listen carefully and be astute about not being a martyr or influenced by anyone that seems to have the answer.
All females have a right to speak up when they believe strongly on an issue they are passionate about. Not only speak out but talk about your cause and start the conversation. Who knows that your idea and cause may take hold and you will have great support. To sit back and do nothing is sad and unacceptable. Come on females, stand up and be counted. Live up to your standard and go beyond your comfort zone.
Age has nothing to do with this issue. Whether you are young or older, get your idea on the table.
Be forceful enough to pursue your dream and then live it.
