Love thyself !

I am a woman..a strong independent woman..earning well..having respect and reputation in family and society. But there is something I still desire..desire to be like my male counterparts. Desire to be compared and applauded on all the criteria on which males are judged. My happiness is dependent on others judgement about me. But why? If I had to be like a male , why would have God made me a woman? That's because he want us to be different. A man has their own share of strength and weakness and so do women. Why can't we celebrate this diversity? If I have chosen to sacrifice my career for my family, that sacrifice is my strength. If I chose not to reply back to my elders, no matter how wrong they are, that respect is my strength. This is no Man's job! It requires strength, lot of strength to be tolerant to all those things that you dislike and accepting them too!. Just because I am physically less strong doesn't mean I am not strong mentally. The strength of my character is stronger than the strongest material available on earth. So all you beautiful ladies out there, love yourself, love yourself for what you are! There's nobody out there like you. no matter you are black or white, skinny or curvy, working or house wife, nerd or fashionista. You may choose your career over family or vice versa, but let that choice be yours and not of anybody else! You are what you are! Go ahead and make your choices. Don't let anybody stop you, don't let anybody dictate you about your happiness. Nobody knows better than you about what really makes you happy. It's OK if you do not cook one day, Its OK if you have made a slip on your responsibility one day, its OK if you are not a CEO of any company, Its OK if you cannot make round chapatis, Its OK to be a girl even when you have crossed that age. Its OK! Relax! Celebrate yourself! Sometimes its OK to be selfish.Its not a crime to think about yourself. Get out of that guilt feeling. You have right to be happy. Its a wonderful life. Judge yourself and the criteria should be your happiness quotient and not success quotient. Stay relevant and stay happy! Anybody who tries to give you too much Gyan ( read unwanted advise), show them their place. Don't take too much criticism and loose your moral. Give it back, left, right & center! Its not wrong to protect your self respect. Respect everyone only to the extent it does not break your spine! Take your Stand, Speak up!  I am a woman..a strong independent woman..and I love myself for whatever I am!
