TOOLS ABOUT BEING A BETTER YOU ... A LESSON FROM OPRAH & MICHELLE

Last month, speaking at the United State of Women Summit, Oprah Winfrey and First Lady Michelle Obama two of the worlds most influential female leaders in the world had a heart to heart, real conversation on just about everything. From Obama's 'swaggerliousness' to Michelle's desire to go shopping without security details insight to some really powerful advice to young men and women to be better.
After watching the video, I was inspired to live out  my God given purpose and to fully embrace my womanhood summed up in the following points.
  • Be aware of who you are.... know your value: Invest quality time in knowing and being comfortable with who you are as an individual. When you know who you are, you can confidently price yourself and not rely on other peoples validation.
  • Be a person of Value: Be the best you can be on a daily basis because people will remember you for what you do and the value and meaning you give to others.
  • Be your authentic true self: People can smell 'FAKE' from a distance. It pays to be original.
  • Put first things first: Take control of your life. If you don't, other people will gobble your time and essence. Take charge and control of your life.
  • Surround yourself with goodness: Surround yourself with positive people. People who genuinely love you and whom you love. There are people who are waiting to spread some goodness your way as you spread your's.
  • Put down your devices: Technology is good. It has helped to blur distance, time and space in the world however, sometimes, you just have to shut down and give attention to things that matter.
  • You can have it all but getting all is a process: Compromise is the word here. When you are in a particular phase, you can compromise and sacrifice for the next phase. You are not THROUGH! our life is a work in progress.
  • Work hard: Success is the best revenge ever!!! Gather as much portfolios as possible and build your life in such a way that your success will shut your haters up.
  • You are never done: Don't be complacent thinking you have arrived it only puts you in a bad place. Seek more knowledge in the of your area of capacity and soar.
You are not done. Wake up every morning with the sole agenda to become a better you.
