Beauty and the beast

Women can achieve anything on earth if only they realise their potential



Believe in yourself Face the challenges with courage

In the beginning, God made man. And he was blessed with bulk and ambition... and for a while, it was good. Then God got an idea for an upgrade and so He made woman. A being that had lesser bulk but high resilience to pain and the mental strength to s urpass anything in her path... and for a while, it was good. But women were too strong. And had the potential to dominate all... and so God created complexes... so that only the women who are ready to master their true skill may find the will to do so. But few have.

Now even though that story was made up, the message it carries is loud and clear. Women are mentally stronger than anything on this planet when they put their minds to it.

And the few who have done so have become the greatest personalities the world has ever seen. They’ve become the best in the fields of science, fashion, marketing and media and still have the ability to come back home and take care of the family.

So why can’t all women be that way? Why is it that a lot of women these days leave the hard work of multitasking... something only a few men can ever dream of accomplishing, and concentrate only on their careers or their homes? One of the reasons is men. Some of them today will tell and treat women as if their only purpose in life is to be second best. And that brings me to my second reason... a huge complex. Believe it or not, all women have complexes... either they don’t believe they’re pretty enough, or they’re not thin enough, or they’re not young enough, or they won’t fight for what they deserve because they think they’re not capable enough... and all I ask of you ladies is... why?

A woman, as far as I am concerned, is a tigress, a fire that’s burning inside. The only problem is she will not let that fire out simply because she is afraid of destroying herself with it. But what you ladies fail to consider is the fact that once you start to believe in yourself ... you will learn how to control that fire, and bend it to your will. Everyone faces defeat but only the strong will realise that defeat is a way of learning not to make the same mistake again.

All you have to do is concentrate on what you love and improvise on it with that feminine touch. And once you’ve found something strong enough, you let that fire out so that no one can dominate and steal it away from you.

So go ahead, face your demons, look them straight in the eye and unleash the beast within you. Because you are a woman and the world is yours. That’s why they even call this planet, “Mother Earth”.
