25 Laws of power for women

Conceal your goals especially the ones that are appealing. Losing weight, reinventing yourself, marrying wealthy. Instead talk about your altruistic goals - to help children, invest in education, this will chase insecure people with vile intentions.

Do not give anyone your source of power: Was is a book that changed your life? a mentor? a movie? Never give up your secret to success. If forced to do say allude to God, the universe, the a random phenomenon

Use the patriarchy to your favor; we live in a world that is, only associate with men who have power, use that power for good.

Never appear too perfect but be selectively vulnerable when needed. Only share something that you will be comfortable saying. You might say “I forget my keys all the time,” “I don’t know how to perfectly park a car “. But never disclose something you are not comfortable with just because you are afraid of being perfect.

Maintain distance in relationships. Friends are the best and you need them. But if you feel that they are becoming too dependent, see them at your own will. But also the reverse could be the case. Your friend may keep a distance, and that is the way of life. You have got to move on from it.

Develop your own style that makes you unique, beautiful, and elegant. Avoid trying to fit in the crowd of people who claim to care less about their style yet have too many opinions about other women’s style

Avoid male friends at all cost, you will have male colleagues, male bosses, male acquaintances, business partners. Keep it that way. You do not want a Truman Capote divulging your secrets to the world. Do not keep a man who does not fit your standard.

You do not have to win at every game. Pick and choose what is best for you and leave room for others. And step down if you have attained that level of success, do not let the society do it for you.

Trust people but remember that we are all humans. So trust with discretion!

Confuse people with kindness; people are not always comfortable with beautiful and intelligent women. That power is too intimidating so confuse them by being genuinely generous, curious, kind, and passionate.

Keep your strong opinions to yourself.. if you support a movement, a way of life, do so silently.

We all have dirty laundry, wash them privately, don’t expose yourself. Remain silent when people try to attack you or shame you. Whatever is not confirmed is not true. You are the only one who knows all the truth about you.

Don’t attract pity or praise: People who pity you do not help you, in fact they might think that you are weak and could mock you at their annual gossipping meeting. And if you are doing things for the sake of praise you are wasting your time.

Choose yourself all the time; never put any one’s feelings above yours.

Trust your own intuition if you feel someone is being malicious towards you, giving you back handed compliments then you should let them go

Never speak bad of another woman. Do not lazy around gossipping. Keep your hands clean and your conscience clear.

Avoid women with low self esteem they will bring you down. For some reason they do not like seeing other women who are doing better than them

Be careful who you seek validation from. Not everyone needs to be pleased. If they are in no way capable of contributing to your life in the ways you prefer, then don’t ask them for their opinions or please them.

Do not compete with other women, if you do you are only putting them on a pedestal. You are making the the standard by which you measure your progress. If you do compete, begin digging your grave.

Do not give unsolicited advice, do not share the inner workings of your mind, If your mouth is very charitable you better start journaling.

Be well-rounded and interesting. It attracts people. It also keeps you busy because you are continually improving and learning. An idle mind is an easily subdued one.

Avoid women who want to live vicariously through you; they want to know who you know, shop where you shop, befriend who you befriend, wear what you wear.

Pay attention to the source of your discomfort; get rid of them. You tell them your dreams and they remind you of all your hindrances. They ask why are you dressed so fancy as though fancy isn’t subjective. They undermine you interests and goals. They will also be quick to bring you down because they are afraid of your potential.

Do not fear power or please power. When we see powerful people we try to hard to befriend them, to be close to them but you need to be comfortable without them. Don’t push yourself in the name of friendship, do not try too hard to be in their inner circle. Your independence of mind is the most important. Instead become a powerful woman, aloof to the presence of power but aware of its importance. Be an ingenious and intelligent and use your creativity to uplift yourself. When you do so it will be hard to ignore you. Even the powerful will become an ally.

Enjoy moments of solitude. Use that time to develop yourself, improve your body, learn new skills, create with your mind, read widely, become more elegant, then launch yourself.

Remember the most powerful women are the most intelligent. Inspired by Robert Greene's 48 Laws of Power. Use at your discretion.

The Miracle Morning is a self-help book written by Hal Elrod, which introduces a morning routine designed to improve personal productivity, success, and well-being. The concept is based on the idea that how you start your day sets the tone for the rest of it, and that by dedicating time in the morning to personal development, you can create a positive impact on your life.

The book outlines a six-step morning routine called the SAVERS system, which stands for:

Silence: Meditation, prayer, or deep breathing exercises to calm the mind.

Affirmations: Positive affirmations to boost confidence and set intentions for the day.

Visualization: Visualization exercises to create a mental picture of your goals and aspirations.

Exercise: Physical activity to energize the body and improve overall health.

Reading: Reading self-help or inspirational material to stimulate the mind and gain knowledge.

Scribing: Writing in a journal to reflect on personal development and progress.

By following the SAVERS system, the author claims that you can develop a morning routine that will help you achieve your goals, increase productivity, and improve overall well-being.

The poor and the middle class work for money. The rich have money work for them.

From RICH DAD POOR DAD By Robert T. Kiyosaki

[letsberealgenz]

nobody tells you this

“Whenever you’re trying to do better in life, you’d be challenged in the most terrifying manner where giving up feels like the only option left.”

But take the alternative route. Keep grasping for air. Keep walking on your path despite the thorns beneath your feet. Keep going love because part of being a champion is really just about never giving up.

I know it’s easier said than done. I feel you but nobody tells you this. It gets easier when you start doing this:

Be really clear about your long-term goals.

Craft your path based on your life goals and true purpose.

Plan your days/weeks ahead.

Implement habits that would move you closer towards your goals.

It’s time to remove toxic relationships.

Spend more time alone getting to know yourself truly.

Put yourself in the right environment.

Join the right organizations/causes/societies that actually feeds your purpose and move you closer towards your goals.

Be really picky with your time. Choose who/what have access to it.

ALWAYS invest in yourself.

Spend time with nature as much as possible.

Meditate.

Journal.

Volunteer.

Read the right books.

Listen to the right podcasts.

Watch the right videos.

Detox your social media following.

Reduce your mindless scrolling on social media.

Clean up your current space.

Recycle/donate/dispose the unnecessary stuff sitting in your space.

Live an intentional life.

Practice minimalism.

Move your body often. Sweat it out.

Learn a new skill/activity/anything that helps you to get closer to your goals.

Look after your finances. Track your spending. Save what you can. Multiply and grow the rest through investments.

Reduce alcohol/nicotine/caffeine consumption as much as possible.

Make a vision board based on your goals and purpose.

Affirm yourself daily.

Simplify and only focus on the most important task that needs to be carried out for the day based on your goals.

Always prioritize your “me-time” whenever you can.

Spend more time with your family/friends/loved ones. Everybody is just getting older.

More self-talk.

Always track your goals from time to time. See what needs to be eliminated. What needs to be improved. What needs to be doubled.

Find a way on how your talent/skill/purpose/goals can be monetized.

I can go on and on but just remember everything and anything is possible. If one door closes, the other is still open. You just have to keep trying. Nobody tells you this:

“A major part of self-improvement is really just about improving yourself from time to time. It is a never ending cycle. There would never be a time when you’re satisfied with your progress. You just want to be better and better. Do more and more. Just like the sequence of numbers that never ends, and is infinite, so is your growth.”

Keep going love, I believe in you!

I have just completed reading "Almost Adulting" by Arden Rose. It was so therapeutic. Written so casually. I found it a comfort read. It was a feel-good read. I literally liked how she addressed the society and body image and the concept what "beautiful" is. The book reads somewhat like a memoir but with some very valid insight and guidance to adulthood. Life can be so unfair sometimes but what we can do is go with the flow with grace and faith.

"The Power of Now" is a book by Eckhart Tolle that explores the concept of living in the present moment and the benefits of doing so. The book is based on the premise that the present moment is the only moment that truly exists and that by focusing on the present, individuals can experience a higher level of consciousness, inner peace, and personal fulfillment.

Tolle argues that many individuals are trapped in negative thought patterns related to the past or the future, leading to stress, anxiety, and unhappiness. By learning to live in the present, individuals can break free from these patterns and experience a greater sense of peace and contentment.

The book offers practical advice on how to cultivate mindfulness and live in the present, including techniques for quieting the mind and becoming more aware of one's thoughts and emotions. It also addresses common obstacles to living in the present, such as the ego, fear, and the illusion of time.
