BE SELFISH WOMEN

"If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not a person or object." - Einstein

I think it's really important for women to put themselves (ourselves) first. To be "selfish" and to make us a priority. We are natural caretakers; it's in our being to care for others and to be motherly (no matter how strong, badass, or independent we are... with or without children). Deep down, we all feel the urge to help others, and sometimes we forget to help ourselves- we are all guilty of this.

I've seen a lot of women (and men) prioritize work over their personal lives, I've seen mothers pick up after someone's mess without thinking twice, I've seen friends take hours out of their free time to plan an event just because they "enjoy it" on top of their 80hr work week... and believe me, I've been there - I was that person - but now, I just think about how ALL of that time could've been focused on my goals.

So I think it's important to take time for ourselves and to insist that our friends take time for themselves too- to acknowledge and appreciate their self-worth.

It took me a decade, but I finally chose me. I am choosing to be a kind, loving, caring individual, and I also choose to take a stand for myself and my goals. To put my priorities at the top of my to-do list while connecting with kind-hearted, like-minded women. We deserve this and each others support to be the best version of ourselves. #loveyourselfunconditionally
