Tell the World Who you Are

Well behaved women rarely make history.

I know we are intended to think of the above as a rea­son to take risks, chal­lenge our­selves and look out­side our com­fort zones. But, behav­ing badly can also mean act­ing like a slut, being mean and nasty and other sorts of neg­a­tive things. Yet, some of those neg­a­tive things can get you into the his­tory books too. I guess the quote is really about pulling out all the stops and going for it.

But that back­fires on women. There is still a dou­ble standard.

Still, we should not keep our head in the sand, live in our tidy con­struc­tions and feel safe. There is a real thrill with tak­ing a risk, try­ing a wild ride and doing some­thing you really want to do but had to let go of your fear just to try.

We are all afraid of some­thing, of how oth­ers will see us and of what we might lose in the process. But, wouldn’t it be worse if you never dared at all? Don’t just jump in with both feet but don’t let that keep you from jump­ing at all.

Jump on some­thing this week. Some­thing you don’t think you dare to do cause it’s just not some­thing oth­ers would think you should do. Don’t let them dic­tate to you too far.

“The world will tell you who you are, until you tell the world.”
