#Choose to Aspire and Challenge Status Quo

“  Science behind Women in Leadership – Formula Decoded"

 We have been talking and discussing about the Women in leadership roles . I have several women colleagues and friends in leadership Roles . I tried to understand what’s different they are doing to be their . And what other Women who are aspiring needs to do . Its nothing that anyone is lacking anything . Its just more Awareness , litter push is needed .

Over a decade things are changing in this area , atleast some attitude change is seen in men and specifically in corporate world where both men /Women jointly coming forward to support the cause of more participation and involvement of Women in leadership Roles . I see in lot of NGOs , Educational Clubs ( Toastmasters , Rotary , etc  )  , Service Orgs  have  good participation , that’s needs to brought forward to corporate and Government Sectors .

I am seeing the positive side as what has happened and what needs to be done , although people can debate either way . Let us deconstruct   What made them different ?  and this can be replicated in other areas and functions . These ladies  have chose to challenge the Status Quo , they came out of comfort zone ,  to learn and grow and take these positions . And most importantly they chose to Aspire .  

 What I meant from Chose to aspire  is some women  get lost in daily Work - Home balance  and not  have enough time for life , which I call it “Me Time “ . They need to come out  and some time for themselves as well , they are always busy satisfying the needs in Home and in office  and try to be perfect everywhere .

They are mostly in  loop of  managing Work , Home , crisis in those fronts  and  being perfect . It is very important to plan for tomorrow. Go beyond everyday challenges and fuel your aspirations.  "Plan your life in the direction of your aspiration."

Don't expect A+ in every aspect of your life. It's OK to have B, which also means Very Good.  Do not ever feel stressed about having a dual responsibility of family and work.   You are not taking an exam, and you frankly can't score cent per cent.  Don't feel low or in guilt if you cannot manage all areas with the same perfection.   Set your priorities, do your best, but don't keep looking out for the report card.

              So, take a deep breath, chill and relax. Tell yourself you are strong & You are best, do your best and deserve a peaceful life.  Your purpose of coming to this earth is not to please everyone. Your purpose is to offer what you have, to the world, and have a good life in return. 

               You have a relationship with yourself, don't sacrifice so much that you lose yourself.  Remember two things   Challenge Status Quo and Choose to Aspire !!!
