Picture this: Your dream comes true, you’ve been chosen to stand center stage for the dance recital. You know all the steps, your costume fits great, you are the shortest kid in class, and now you are exactly where you were born to be. Center stage.
After the teacher writes down the formation for next week when inevitably half the class forgets their spots – not you, of course. You turn to your friends and they cross their arms and turn their backs. They’re mad at you for being placed center stage.
Has this ever happened to you? A situation where your success cost you love? It may not have been your dance recital, but most of us have experienced something similar. Women have been conditioned to compete against each other in every area of life and all it’s doing is hurting us. Keeping us down. Keeping us separated from each other because they know we are stronger together.
Let’s leave fear behind, stop being scared to shine, and start being strong together.
