am all about women empowerment. Matter of fact, it is safe to say, I am a feminist. But, when it comes to gender equality, is the scale balance, or starting to tip over? To have a successful community, a successful nation, we need both women and men to succeed equally. We need men to succeed; we need them to marry and raise strong children; we need men as much as women if we are to rebuild the family. Given the daily attacks on manhood in our media and our culture, the odds of creating strong, good men are ever shrinking. Unless we give the same attention to our boys and young men that we give to their female counterparts, the situation will only grow worse. Without a determined effort to raise our sons with the same sense of hope and aspiration given our daughters, to let them know that masculinity is as positive a value as femininity, to teach them honor, courage, and virtue, we will see even fewer intact families, an ongoing sense of hopelessness and despa...

  There is no need to conform to this world. Do you and be of a sound mind, knowing that there is consequences for all of your actions.  You have to reach deep inside yourself and see what your strength are, and what you can  contribute to society.  The more you try to be what you are not, the uncomfortable and exhausted you will become.

We’re all competitive people. But being competitive doesn’t mean that you have to screw over people around you. Have you heard of the Shine Theory? It basically means, ‘I don’t shine if you don’t shine.’  I'm all about helping everybody because I've realized a lot of people helped me along the way.

  Being open-minded can be really tough sometimes, trust me, I know. Most of us are brought up with a set of beliefs and values and, throughout our lives, tend to surround ourselves with people who share the same values and beliefs. Therefore, it can be difficult when we're faced with ideas that challenge our own and, though we may wish to be open-minded, we may struggle with the act of it from time to time.  I'd like to say I'm a fairly open-minded person, but, like most people, I do have some pretty strong views about specific topics and find it hard to sway from those opinions -- no matter how others might try to persuade me. Of course, I fully believe that having strong beliefs can be a wonderful thing and I believe we should all stay true to what we believe in, but having strong beliefs doesn't have to mean having a closed mind.  Though it can be tough to do sometimes, I've always found that when I open my mind, I've reaped a lot of rewarding...

My mother used to say, "If you are woman enough to do it, be woman enough to admit it." I've built a tolerance for admitting when I am wrong. It makes me proud to take responsibility for my wrong doing. The first is simply, "I was wrong." Many people are so concerned with being right that all their mental energy is consumed by stonewalling, bluffing, blaming and denying. If you’re wrong, admit it and get on to the solution or the next step. Try it, it works. 

 Personal power is supported by your contacts and money. Developing an ever-widening circle of contacts increases the number of open doors for you. Having people with like-minded goals and are willing to help you can directly affect how successful you are. Money in the bank provides freedom and the ability to take full advantage of certain opportunities when they present themselves. You know the saying, "Money is Power". 

 Personal growth is bettering yourself, stepping out of your comfort zone, focusing on becoming a better version of yourself. Humans and the human mind is constantly evolving and never stops. Your job is to always be a better version of yourself than you were yesterday.
