While we all have masculine and feminine aspects of our being, the vast majority of men identify mainly with the masculine energy.
If you’re neglecting your feminine energy, you’re going to fail at being successful.
You need both energies to feel whole (you’re always whole, but you won’t feel it if you neglect one part of you), and you need to express that wholeness fully in order to be successful — to achieve what you truly desire.
The women in your life will show you exactly where your feminine energy needs attention.
Our relationships serve the function of helping us learn about ourselves. Sure, they can be fun or frustrating or fabulous or frantic. Each of those descriptors just points to the experience of the relationship at any given time, and most clearly demonstrate your state of mind in that moment. What we feel on the inside is what we evoke from the world around us.
So those women you work with? Are they driving you crazy? Your significant other frustrating you? Your sister inspiring you?
I’m here to tell you-you’re actually doing all of those things to yourself and they’re just showing you that.
What?! You can’t blame them anymore? Or give them the credit? Nope. Not if you want to be wildly successful.
The women closest to you? Pay closest attention to what they’re showing you. This is where your deep-seated beliefs shine. The women you notice in society? They’re showing you your overall beliefs about women and their role.
Are these beliefs you’re uncovering empowering or mind-numbingly defeating?
Whatever beliefs you hold about women and their mindset you also hold about the feminine aspect of your being.
Your perception of the mindset of the women in your life are a mirror to what you’re believing about yourself, and how you’re focusing. Pay close attention. Question it. Is this really what you want to believe about women? And about part of yourself? This will also clue you to where you are giving your power away.
When you’re giving your power away, you can’t be wildly successful.
How do these women you know, and perhaps love, view the world? How does that view make you feel?
Empowered? Frustrated? Weak? Loved?
The focus you currently have gives you clues as to what’s working well in your life and what you could improve upon — approach it differently so you can get the outcome you really want, and be wildly successful.
