Set Yourself Free...

In the spirit of the 4th of July I encourage all girls to declare their independence from those who hold you down or barriers that hinder your growth to make your dreams come true! Our founders lead with enthusiasm, courage and determination. A confident lady overcomes the struggles and limits placed on her by society. So how can this be done? Well, First, knowing your mission helps you picture and plan the journey. If you don't have a clear vision set your sights on what make you fulfilled. (graduating, starting a business, helping a charity, rebuilding a family relationship, traveling the world, being a public figure, or simply smiling more). Secondly, understanding who your real friends are- this is never easy but is a life changer. From personal experience I discovered my true friends and self at my lowest point. I hope these tips help you from seeing the lowest. People all over the world have different experiences but this makes the individual stronger.  As a teen I knew I had my whole life in front of me but I was restricted to my city borders. When I tested my borders I found just how big this world really is, filled with the good and the bad. The big question I asked myself was, "who do "I" want to be?" I looked to God first for guidance. Secondly, I wanted respect, respect from others and I wanted to respect others. Third, I wanted passion. I wanted a rich life full of love, happiness, and discovery. The metamorphosis from a girl to woman is recognizing your independence from the negative agents in life and welcoming the positive energy for a healthy well being. Remember you are strong and you can do all things through Christ! (Philippians 4:13)
