Can’t we do better than “humble”?

Here’s the thing… we encourage women to be self confident and achieving. But not too much.

We want women to stand up for themselves — — but be careful — — don’t be arrogant. It’s a fine line you know! We want women to be sexy and know what they want erotically — — but don’t scare off the men. You don’t want to them to feel threatened. Speak up! But not too loud please.

Is humble what we are striving for?

Watch that swagger — you don’t want people to think that you think you’re better than other people. And please act “lady like” while you are taking up all that space. I dunno.

Is humble what we are striving for?

Having confidence in what you say can sometimes come across as rude or blunt, but that’s because confident women don’t feel a need to mince words. They mean what they say and avoid ending sentences like they’re questions.

People may not call you “Humble” but they might call you a leader, change maker, or even a teacher.

Loving you from here,
