Imagine trying to force EVERYTHING in your life...
White knuckle holding onto the steering wheel… to force things into place.
Sometimes it’s in a relationship,
Sometimes it’s at work or in business,
sometimes it’s behavior.
I watch women everyday exhausting themselves striving for perfection.
-the perfect body
-the perfect workout
-the perfect post
-the perfect makeup
-the perfect clothes
-the perfect hair
-the perfect husband
-the perfect kids
-the perfect home
-the perfect job
-the perfect income
-the perfect promotion
-the perfect mindset
-the perfect girlfriends
-the perfect vacations
-the perfect job
-the perfect………..
So that things can be EXACTLY how they want them.
OMG… no wonder they are a hot mess on the inside!!!
This unstated goal of striving for perfection is sucking every ounce of energy out of them! It’s also sucking the life out of them!
Authenticity doesn’t exist here as most of it is a facade. A show put on for the benefit of others. Fueled by “what will they think of me” and “am I enough”.
There’s certainly minimal room for pursuing their passions as most of their energy is intertwined in achieving a goal they can never actually attain. There’s just nothing left!
Fun can only occur for them in a very controlled environment within certain guidelines. Usually… when everything is PERFECT (ie. NEVER because it’s totally unachievable).
Freedom… spontaneity… what’s that?! Always gotta look around to see who’s watching. And… with such a long checklist of things to mark off toward achieving this “perfection”… who’s got time for freedom?
These women definitely have no chance of feeling radiant, feminine or alive… they are too caged in by the walls of rules they’ve built around themselves.
I should know… I used to be this kind of woman!
My path to perfection was paved and littered with tears, tension and very controlling behaviors that never actually got me the result I was after.
My road to joy, freedom, and authenticity has been liberating!!! Finally free of my self imposed shackles that were holding me back from the life I REALLY wanted.
The transition wasn’t pretty at first...
I had to be willing to acknowledge the walls I had built around me. I had to be willing to tear them down brick by brick.
I had to notice and interrupt patterns of thought, speech and behavior that were holding me back.
I had to be willing to fearlessly step into the woman I was becoming… so that I could set myself free.
It required vulnerability. It required surrender.
I’m so grateful to have had such amazing friends, coaches and mentors to support me through this metamorphosis.
For me, my need perfection appeared in almost every area of my life. Where does it show up for you?
I hope that sharing the areas where my perfectionism showed up has helped you. Maybe it brushes on a sensitive spot for you? Called attention to an area you hadn’t thought of before?

For the woman whose husband makes an "extra stop" after work every evening.
\n
\nFor the woman who is mourning the loss of a pregnancy nobody knew about.
\n
\nFor the woman who leads from the front even though she’s lost inside.
\n
\nFor the woman who was fired for her fourth late because she’s been awake for a straight week with a sick child.
\n
\nFor the single mum who doesn't know how the utilities will stay on this month.
\n
\nFor the woman who has gone through 2 IVF's and tried for five years without success but still shows up to every baby shower for her friends.
\n
\nFor the woman who still hasn't forgiven herself for the abortion she had 20 years ago.
\n
\nFor the woman who has a line of judging eyes at her and her children as she counts out coins and puts something back at the supermarket.
\n
\nFor the woman that opens the door to the news of her husband being killed overseas three weeks before he was to return home.
\n
\nFor the woman that lives with anxiety because nobody understands what she could possibly be stressed about.
\n
\nFor the woman that gives to her family all day- everyday and just.needs.a.break.
\n
\nFor the woman that smiles at strangers all day in public- but weeps silently every night.
\n
\nFor the woman who has wanted to end it all but found strength to carry on.
\n
\nFor the woman that heard the rumor about herself today.
\n
\nFor the woman sleeping next to a stranger every night.
\n
\nFor the woman whose genetics will never allow her to look like the ones in magazines.
\n
\nFor the woman that endures one broken relationship after another because there was no father around to teach her what love looks like.
\n
\nFor the woman raising a fatherless daughter and praying that history doesn't repeat itself.
\n
\nFor the woman who loves with all her heart who’s desperate to be loved.
\n
\nFor every single woman that cries in the shower so nobody else can see. Because if you aren't strong-nobody is.
\n
\nJust because the water washes your tears doesn't mean you don't cry. Just because you cry doesn’t mean you’re not strong enough to handle it.
\n
\nI am you. I see you. I am with you, I cry with you. I love you.

This is one of the best posts I've read about woman... Please read it completely... it's worth it...
WOMAN. . .
When God created woman he was working late on the 6th day...
An angel came by and asked." Why spend so much time on her?"
The lord answered. "Have you seen all the specifications I have to meet to shape her?"
She must function on all kinds of situations,
She must be able to embrace several kids at the same time,
Have a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart,
She must do all this with only two hands,"
She cures herself when sick and can work 18 hours a day".
THE ANGEL was impressed" Just two hands.....impossible!
And this is the standard model?"
The Angel came closer and touched the woman"
"But you have made her so soft, Lord".
"She is soft", said the Lord,
"But I have made her strong. You can't imagine what she can endure and overcome".
"Can she think?" The Angel asked...
The Lord answered. "Not only can she think, she can reason and negotiate".
The Angel touched her cheeks....
"Lord, it seems this creation is leaking! You have put too many burdens on her"
"She is not leaking...it is a tear" The Lord corrected the Angel…
"What's it for?" Asked the Angel..... .
The Lord said. "Tears are her way of expressing her grief, her doubts, her love, her loneliness, her suffering and her pride."...
This made a big impression on the Angel,
"Lord, you are a genius. You thought of everything.
A woman is indeed marvellous".
Lord said."Indeed she is.
She has strength that amazes a man.
She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens.
She holds happiness, love and opinions.
She smiles when she feels like screaming.
She sings when she feels like crying, cries when happy and laughs when afraid.
She fights for what she believes in.
Her love is unconditional.
Her heart is broken when a next-of-kin or a friend dies but she finds strength to get on with life"
The Angel asked: So she is a perfect being?
The lord replied: No. She has just one drawback
"She often forgets what she is worth".
W O M A N:
● changes her name.
● changes her home.
● leaves her family.
● moves in with you.
● builds a home with you.
● gets pregnant for you.
● pregnancy changes her body.
● she gets fat.
● almost gives up in the labour room due to the unbearable pain of child birth..
● even the kids she delivers bear your name..
Till the day she dies.. everything she does... cooking, cleaning your house, taking care of your parents, bringing up your children, earning, advising you, ensuring you can be relaxed, maintaining all family relations, everything that benefit you.. sometimes at the cost of her own health, hobbies and beauty.
So who is really doing whom a favour?
Dear men, appreciate the women in your lives always, because it is not easy to be a woman.
*Being a woman is priceless
make her feel proud of herself.
Rock the world ladies!
A salute to ladies!
WOMAN MEANS:-
W - WONDERFUL MOTHER.
O - OUTSTANDING FRIEND.
M - MARVELLOUS DAUGHTER.
A - ADORABLE SISTER.
N - NICEST GIFT TO MEN FROM GOD.
I respect women.
