Empowered!

To all the empowered women,

I know it hasn’t been a smooth journey to get to where you are today. And some days, it still feels like an uphill battle. But here’s the thing: you’ve come so far from day 1, and until today, you continue to move forward rather than back – even if taking that next step forward requires you to exhaust all that strength from within.

You have endured unspeakable pain and despite your scars, you surpass every obstacle. You rise with strength and power that radiates off of you with brilliance. Each foot you place on the ground is with purpose and intention. When your feet lift off the ground you dance with every part of your soul. With every spin and every jump you feel invincible. There is nothing you can’t do.

Every time you fall, you choose to pick yourself up immediately rather than feel sorry for yourself, because sometimes being strong is the only choice you have – especially when you wish to make progress and grow. Unfortunately, some people would love to see you fall. They’re the ones who write off your dreams and make the nasty comments about how you’re too strong / muscular / independent / fierce / loud / crazy / (whatever else that might have been thrown at you).

When those mean words get hurled at you, it hurts. And sometimes, you might even let them make you feel like you’re inadequate, or simply not doing well enough. But despite the scars and heartache, you rise above it all every time – because you refuse to get knocked down and pushed around. This is the reason why you radiate a special kind of strength, and have that flicker in your eyes.

People are drawn to you with a force stronger than gravity. You are loved, feared, liked, and even hated, but your head remains high and your shoulders strong. People would love to see you fall. You ignore these people and focus on the ones who are there for you when you hold the power of the world within your clutch.

So don’t ever feel ashamed about your strength, independence and power. Instead, keep your head high and shoulders strong – most importantly, always be true to yourself and never stop being your bold, brilliant, beautiful self.

Stay strong. Stay true to you. Change the world.

Love,

Someone just like you!
