Try Not to Get Cut

You can't break through a Glass Ceiling without getting a little cut up.

Any person who has been the first at anything - first woman to join the Citadel, the first African American to go to a Desegregated School in the south, the first Man on the Moon; has had to face many challenges and obstacles that probably seemed insurmountable at the time. They may have not even enjoy their victory because of all of the turmoil but THEY WERE THE FIRST. Someone always has to be and it clears the way, free of as much glass hopefully, for others to follow.

Some people may be better at breaking glass, they may learn to take precautions before breaking it or even safer ways to break through the glass; but even the most skilled person is going to get a few scratches.

So if you have gotten cut up a bit by being one of the firsts in a social changing situation; wear your scars with pride. 

Remember -- You Made History and We ALL are forever grateful to you for it.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥Tell a Woman that has inspired you or that you have learned from, how much they have contributed to your growth. Write them a card, jet off an email, or give them a call.  Graciousness, Dignity, and Respect are all qualities that will always better a person as well as any situation. Even when facing opposition or challenge, staying true to these attributes will make a challenging situation better as well as will help in the resolution of conflicts.

So today, Thank an Important Woman in your life - let her know how she has impacted it. Make it a regular practice and you will see less conflict in your life and a change in any difficult relationship. Being the better person is contagious!

Be that Kind of Woman
