One Flaw In Women


Women have strengths that amaze men.

They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy.

They smile when they want to scream.

They sing when they want to cry.

They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.

They fight for what they believe in.

They stand up to injustice.

They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.

They go without so their family can have.

They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.

They love unconditionally.

They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.

They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding.

Their hearts break when a friend dies.

They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.

They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.

Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.

They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.

The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning.

They bring joy, hope and love.

They have compassion and ideas.

They give moral support to their family and friends.

Women have vital things to say and everything to give.

However, if there is one flaw in women. . .

it is that they forget their true worth.

Overcoming Shame

Shame is not the same as guilt. When we feel guilt, it's about something we did. When we feel shame, it's about who we are. Shame = "I am not good enough." When we feel guilty we need to learn that it's okay to make mistakes. When we feel shame we need to learn it's okay to be WHO WE ARE!

Shame comes from being taught that we are worthless or bad. It can stem from childhood experiences and comments from parents/adults or cruel kids. It comes from being threatened with shaming, or physical discipline, or humiliation.

It's sad how we remember a million negative things people have said or done to us and forget about all the wonderful compliments we have recieved from genuine human beings! I know I personally remember horrible things people have said to me!

Here are some tips to help with shame:

When people treat you well- Absorb it! Always take at least a few seconds to FEEL the good feelings you get when you are treated well. Let your appreciation show! Smile and learn to say "thank you." Showing your appreciation reinforces the other person and encourages them to stay around you longer. Don't talk yourself out of it; most compliments are honest.

When people treat you bad- don't dwell on it!! Maybe they just had a bad day and you happened to be the one they took it out on. Be sure to tell the other person that what they said or did hurt you and why. Sometimes people don't even realize how they are affecting others.

You are WORTHY of love and belonging!! BELIEVE you are enough!! We may not be perfect, but we ARE WORTH IT! :)
