Day 156 – I love women

In Daily BadAss Recap on December 17, 2009 at 11:32 pm

This is for the ladies:

Imagine.

Imagine a world where we see ourselves the way God sees us.

—-

We enter this world as infants, innocent and ready to receive love.

Then the ugly world takes over.

We’re taught about insecurity, pain, mistrust, bitterness and anger.

We become victims of  judgment and discrimination.

We grow up to resent our genetics and place ourselves on a ladder of the perceptions of imperfect men. We weigh our value on their perceptions of beauty, sex and love.

Imagine a world where these perceptions didn’t matter.

Unfortunately my friends, A world like that will never exist.

So what do we do?

We must take a step outside of ourselves and learn to love what we see… inside and out.

We are tainted with experience. We are not perfect. But on those days that we feel beautiful… when our pants fit just right and our shirt hangs appropriately… these are the days that we have an extra pep in our step.

The “pep in our step” is intangible… but obvious. People can’t put their finger on it… but when a confident women walks up to you… you know it. She loves herself. She feels beautiful. She feels smart. She feels strong.

I believe every woman has the capability to feel this way.

Imagine if tomorrow 50% of women felt extra confident. Imagine! The world would completely change! You’d have women speaking up, teaching a friend something new, volunteering, earning higher education, overcoming an obstacle, standing up for themselves…

Come with me. Join me on this journey.

Women are capable of many, many things. We are capable of pushing past the boundaries that DO NOT exist.

I believe physical strength corresponds with inner confidence. Physical strength is possible. It’s only a kettlebell or push-up away.

It’s so close. Reach out and grab it. This is your life. You are capable of conquering the world.
