The Art of Confidence

I know it’s cheesy and that everyone’s heard it, but confidence is truly the key to everything. A woman’s confidence is untouchable and unfathomable, yet society doesn’t want us to have it. 

When a confident woman walks into a space her aura is felt and seen by everyone in the room. Her head is held high with chest pointed towards the ceiling, and confidence is seeping from her skin. Insecure people will either envy her and try to take some of her or feel jealousy, but the opposite will admire her, and feel inspired.

My blog’s theme is a woman’s confidence and helping others achieve it. I chose this topic because a woman who is comfortable in herself is unstoppable. Confidence helps women navigate a world that wants you and sets you up to fail, a.k.a a “man’s world.” Our society is built around misogyny and capitalizes off of women’s insecurities, and it’s time to take our power back. 

If every woman in the world had a sense of being sure of herself, as a whole gender we would be unstoppable. We are already the creators of life, so why can’t we be the creators of a whole new world? 

The first act to stepping into your womanhood is realizing you are literally the source of life. Even if you don’t want to produce kids, you can still admit that being able to create a living entity using your body is an incredible concept to grasp, and only we can do it. Plus with everytime we produce there is a new, smaller version of us out in the world. No man can say they can grow and produce life from the very start. 

So as a producer of life I say society should not be built on us, but we should be the ones upholding and attaining it. Could you imagine a world where we replaced all members of power with the average woman? It’s written in our past that women are known for being better leaders and men historically always find a way to come along and take it away. 

Therefore, if we are going to continue to produce life, we should be helping to lead and preserve our society. We cannot continue to be shepherds by man. We have a duty to help and contribute to this life. What is that duty you may ask? We will dive into that another time. But in the meantime reflect on your power as a woman. Go outside, look at the plants surrounding you and remember you were the source of that. Without you it wouldn’t be there, and appreciate yourself and other women for helping you create.
