Sharing my General Views On Women's Day, 2018

Inspired to write after Women's Day 8th March, 2018 :---

Growing up in life had its own challenges for my generation. It may be difficult for the young generation to understand today. Girls kept to themselves many things that might have hurt them badly. Suffering in silence and wallowing in self-pity seemed like virtues at that time. Lack of confidence despite being brilliant was quite common problem. I saw women folk of generations older to me,taking care of everyone else as a priority, often at the price of neglecting to honor themselves. They kept giving and giving, but never asked for  anything in return. They did not replenish and felt burn-out in the end. Appreciation of new feminist ways was grudgingly meager and you had to risk many securities provided by the traditional set-up if you articulate feminist concerns. Many females paid the price of being self-respecting humans in our society. However, some encouragement was also there from families and some unexpected quarters but due to the transitional phase of society, the journey to the success was full of hardships. 

 

But we all never gave up. Our determined struggles are worthy and outstanding in a unique way. It is very nice to see the new generation around these days and many changes that have set it which are the fruit of the courageous endeavours of the past many generations. Overall, it has been wonderful to be a part of this growth story. We can smile and enjoy the hard-earned status today!

Quoting Dr. Barbara De Angelis Hay House #thechoiceforlove #womenaremagical:

"As women on a conscious path of growth, we are constantly in the process of balancing our softness with our power, our selflessness with our selfishness, our fear with our courage, and our little-girl insecurities with our spiritual wisdom. How we master this balance is what defines our journey as a woman."

I believe that we must not forget that we are essentially spiritual, whole human beings in a female body. We must realise our real SELF and potential as Maslow would say, so as to be happy, joyful and fulfilled in our lives!

I can share my views now on internet; see how technology has given an impetus to freedom of expression for females too!
