Being a woman isn’t easy.
It feels like everyone has expectations to meet!
Especially in your 20s and 30s, when life can be both enjoyable and overwhelming.
You are expected to look beautiful, be kind, pursue a career, get married, have kids, start a business, share your life on social media, pray, and do it all.
Here are some important lessons every woman should learn early to avoid life dragging you along without purpose.
1. You don’t need to impress anyone.
Your purpose isn’t to make everyone happy.
You weren’t brought to this world to cater to others while suffering in silence.
You don’t have to tone down your voice just so others don’t feel uncomfortable.
You shouldn’t diminish your brilliance to avoid being seen as “too much.”
Feeling obliged to say “yes” when your heart is screaming “NO” isn’t necessary.
You’re not here to be stepped on. You’re not a machine programmed to please others.
2. Your value isn’t linked to your relationship status.
Whether single or married, it doesn’t diminish your worth.
Stop waiting to become “Mrs.” to feel validated. You were whole before any label.
3. You may outgrow some people, and that’s perfectly fine.
Not all friendships will last through every chapter of your life.
Don’t cling to what needs to be let go.
Growing can feel isolating, but it’s essential.
4. Learn to earn your own money.
There’s a unique confidence that comes with financial independence.
Develop selling skills, learn digital tools, create an online presence.
Wealth isn’t confined to a specific gender.
5. Take care of your mental health.
Life can be tough enough.
Don’t allow your thoughts to weigh you down.
Seek therapy if necessary.
Pray. Rest.
Guard your mental well-being as fiercely as you protect your smartphone.
6. Stop waiting for approval.
Start that business. Write your book. Organize that event.
Too many of us were taught to hold back; break that pattern.
7. Rely on God.
You’ll need Him in both moments of triumph and sorrow.
Don’t navigate life without your foundation.
Grace will take you further than hard work alone.
8. Stop expecting a savior.
Become your own hero.
Don’t wait for someone to choose you; choose yourself.
Show up, create, succeed.
Take the reins.
It’s your moment.
