We do spend a good chunk of our lives in careers and business. I know I used to dream of the days where I would love to retire and not work.

I came across this series from the Globe and Mail on Women in Power. It is always interesting to me how there is so much focus on women in leadership, in power and in business.
We are really seeing the success of women in different areas and in all areas of their lives. Women for the first time are holding positions of powers while balancing their personal lives. We have come a long way from when the women was a second class citizen.
Beyonce has the right vision of how Women should run the world. Women are know to be in touch with their emotions which makes them exceptional leaders. Women have been leaders in different capacities around the world. I recently came across the Guide to Women Leaders http://www.guide2womenleaders.com/, which lists all women leaders in politics over time. This site was a blessing to see.
The fact that women are running the world in different ways, makes me feel proud to be a women. Recently I have been researching and reading about how throughout history women have always helped men lead empires and religions. The women were the silent leaders. They led through “advising” the men on what actions to take. As I was researching more on the history of the Taj Mahal (which is made in honor of a women), I came to learn that Mumtaz Mahal has been said to be the power behind Emperor Shah Jahan. The thought comes to mind, how many women have been truly in power but were hidden from the public eye?
It is wonderful to see that now women are coming to the forefront and claiming their place in society. the Forbes Most Powerful Women. This list is complete with women who are current leaders in business and politics. I was slightly disappointed that in the Forbes billionaire list have inherited the wealth (Wal-Mart, Loreal are in the top twenty - www.forbes.com). I would have loved to see women entrepreneurs and leaders to have been on this list on their own accord. I know that in time that is the direction we are heading in but it has taken centuries to arrive to even this place.
What are you doing in your life to contribute to women running the world? How are you supporting your passion to contribute to this movement?
One of the clearest messages that we receive each day is to just “be.” We hear this through sayings such as ‘love yourself,’ ‘be kind to yourself,’ ‘accept yourself as you are’ among others.
People love us more when we are just being. The more we accept ourselves, the more others are able to accept us. The unconditional love that we have for ourselves and from source is all we really need to just be.
So what does it mean to just be…well it is really just being you. Take a deep breath, place your hand on your heart and ask yourself – “I want to just be, what does that mean to me?” Allow the answers to flow through and then act on them.
Now that you are just being, what else do you want to create?
