Being Woman!

Being a woman isn't all about having curves and a pretty face; you should also have a functional brain, enduring spirit, caring mind, capable hands and a praying tongue!!!!.(copied from a friends wall). The words stayed with me as I read them and I just had to share. I always say, the looks may open the door, but keeping the door open is much more difficult and that's where we begin to see cracks in relationships, be it opposite gender or same . And this all depends on what you have fed yourself on, whom you spend time with, how willing you are, to break out from the familiar, your tolerance level to people with varying opinions and the list could go on and on! Show me a grown lady who spends most of her time on gossip magazines/ gossip blogs, knows all the celebrity gossip at her finger tips,and I will show you a lady who is really shallow when it comes to the 'REAL DEAL'. Dont get me wrong I scan through gossip magazines some times, though I can never buy them. I was quite impressed when I was reviewing my clients accounts, a young lady same age as me and she told me she has a monthly subscription of some key financial magazines delivered to her which she paid for by automatic debits from her account. Tell me I take life too seriously and I will tell you that the last time I checked, those who didnt, where no where in the success/impact ladder.

             Anyways yesterday I was actually at a function in which I was made the master of ceremony! Yes you heard me right, MC! lol! Its not something I have done before especially for such a grand occasion that had a lot of middle aged folks. You might say it should be an easy feat for me as I love to talk and nervousness is not common with me at all, but NO! this was unfamiliar grounds and I really didnt want to gaff at all. But you know what? It turned out so well and I have had lots of people complimenting on my coordination. So I might be changing my career soon hahaha.  From the whole event, I learnt a lot but will share just 2 for now

1) 'I cant' only becomes powerful when its in your head, your mind, your mouth and finally you begin to act the part. When I was asked to take the role a couple weeks back, the question I asked was, do you believe in me that I can? And I got a big YES from the lady. With that I decided to give it a good try and maybe I was more encouraged because the DJ in the party was  re-known as the best in town. So I told myself that we cant both be boring hahaha. So next time 'I Cant' keeps ringing in your head, shut it down with a big bang.

2) Be careful of who you listen to. They are more influential and are making more impact than you think they ever would. This thought was with me as I held the microphone and gave instructions to individuals who were way older than me. The DJ stopped the music when I wanted him to, just with a wink, everyone sat down when I wanted them to, and even danced at my instructions hahaha. Who is speaking into your life today? Will that investment be detrimental to you? If Yes please shut your ears and politely walk out!

 Have a blessed week everyone and remember to be the difference-Ellyeleanor
