We know for a fact that we will come across difficult people. Difficult people come with a lot of toxicity and make life miserable for all of us. This unfortunately means you’ll come across people who offer destructive criticism. To be clear, not all criticism is bad criticism. Sometimes we’re offered healthy/constructive criticism by people who consider the entire picture, and this can be helpful. I suppose that’s why people refer to it as constructive criticism. But that’s[...]
The world has only continued to get more challenging as time progresses. As we pursue our dreams, we have to have the energy and the resolve to get the job done. This is especially true when we are in charge or working with others. To have a group of people who follow your direction and guidance is a gift; keeping it that way is sure to test even the most talented leaders. The benefits of having a motivated and inspired team include high morale, high productivity and an overall healthi[...]
For part one of this series of blog posts, please go here Onward to Part 2, excited yet? :) * Call Yourself Out When You Get Jealous One of the most important things to do when you feel jealous is to admit it to yourself. Jealousy comes from a complex mix of emotions and feelings, getting through them can be difficult because it’s about owning up to feelings of not being enough (which isn’t true, but more on that later) It’s only after we catch ourselves being jealous that[...]
Jealousy is natural, people feel it all the time. In fact, I would go as far as saying being jealous shows you care (especially in romantic relationships) because it shows you value and cherish someone. However, that’s where the value of jealousy stops. Jealousy, if left unchecked, can harm relationships and friendships. You sometimes see jealous people being angry and resentful when others around them are doing well. You will see them as grumpy and unthankful even when things are going th[...]
1. Choose Your Friends Wisely The life any woman lives is heavily impacted by the people she chooses to have around her. This means, to reach your potential and shine like the diamond you are, you keep friends who love and support you (the same way you do for them). You elevate each other and you don’t bring each other down. Can you imagine how frustrating it would be to have friends that are hot and cold with you? You would go insane wondering if they’re on your side or not.[...]
Self-confidence is incredibly important, and it’s something that’s in short supply these days. Self-confidence is something we should aspire towards because it improves many (if not all) aspects of our lives. Think about it, would you prefer a partner who talks to you nervously, constantly backpedals on decisions and is always doubting themselves? No. Because that would be unattractive. We need partners who are sure of themselves, people who, even when they’re not certain are willing t[...]
Last year I posted Quotes to help us connect with our divine femininity and Quotes from powerful ladies. I thought it would be nice for us to continue that tradition in 2023 with 13 more quotes from powerful ladies. It’s always such a joy, to step out of our own realities and connect with other powerful women. To see what they’ve experienced through the words they share; what they feel and how they see the world we live in. I believe there’s a quote here that will speak to eve[...]
We are quite the loving bunch, aren’t we? (women, that is). We can bring light into a room because we are nurturing even when we don’t try to be. The unfortunate truth however is that the world is not filled with good, honest people looking to be their best selves. Sometimes we meet people that bring us down or who push us to question our reality; under-mining us at every turn. It’s okay if you feel hurt, betrayed or even angry when you have to deal with this. There are steps you can t[...]
To get to the root of this issue, we first need to define what makes someone “difficult” They lack empathy (finding joy in other peoples’ pain) They are highly critical of others except themselves (hypocrites) They communicate poorly (with insults and the like) You don’t feel comfortable around them (they don’t have your best interests at heart) They are very jealous These are just some of the traits you might find in difficult people, there are much more. Difficul[...]
“The only person better than ME is the ME I’m yet to be” Yes, Goddess. Don’t ever let anyone tell you they’re better than you. There’s no such thing. We’re all good at different things, we’re all unique and we all bring different qualities to the table. Anyone who believes they’re better than anyone/everyone is simply living in an illusion. The only person you should compete with is yourself, because no one will ever be better at being you, than you. “It doesn’t m[...]
