The Glass Ceiling

Women have been standing up for their rights for many, many years. Although there appears to be solidarity among All Women, there isn’t. All Women do not want the same thing. Believe it or not, some like being subservient to men; they have been conditioned that way. There is nothing wrong with that if that’s what you want. Most women want the choice of equality; some want it for themselves, and not for others. Those of us who want a chance to do and be all that we can, should unite and stand together for just that. We don’t. There are segregated lines dividing those who do want the same things, but they don’t want others to benefit from them. Think about it Sisters, we need to stick together as there is plenty to go around for everyone. The reason so many of us fail is that some Women relish on the fact that they were chosen, and others were not, nor will they be. Women have made and are still making leaps and bounds in the Workplace, in all professions, but there are still too few. The Glass Ceiling is still too low.

 

I saw this video and thought to post it to help ignite a spark that will generate an AHA moment for you.

 

Try mentoring or helping a Woman who you see with potential. You don’t have to become best friends, just do it because you can. You can keep your title, property, and money, simply help another Woman because you and I know that someone helped you. Your help can be anonymous, if you believe something you have will be taken away. We have to stop hating, betraying, fighting, slaying, and shaming  other Women. Face it, men do a good enough job doing those things without the help of a Woman. Remember how you got where you are; sure it was hard work, but you did it. Please, stop pretending as if the breakthrough was made all on your own. Someone saw something in you and lowered the ceiling just a little. Now it is your turn to lower it for someone else. If you have helped Women with their careers, help some more. If you have to ask yourself whether you have helped someone, you probably have not. Do it for Women because we have a lot to offer and it is a shame to let great talent go to waste.

Peace.
