Confidence is powerful. Knowing your worth and tapping into it is a skill many women never master, but if you can, you have won half the battle.
First, let’s talk about where that power comes from. My friends and I were talking about this the other day, and we came up with two theories.
Either, A, women were simply born with a special kind of influence. Men were given physical strength to flourish, and maybe this is our given superpower.
Or, B, because men put so much energy into pursuing women, we noticed that it is a way to get what we want. With this theory, men started the trend and women got smart and used it to our advantage.
It could be a little bit of both.
It has always been kind of funny to me that men judge women for using their influence for their own good. Think about setting boundaries to get a partner to change, or choosing to be intimate on your own terms. In reality, if men were not so captivated by us, we would not have this leverage to begin with. But women get scrutinized instead of praised for knowing their worth.
The ones who lose that power are the ones who do not realize they have it. They think small, like “I will give him everything just to get in the room,” when a little charm would do the job.
Made to order and shipped to your door.
Sidenote: flirting is the baby sister of influence. It is the appetizer, and many, many, many times all people need to be full is a little appetizer.
One of the things that can interfere with a woman using her power is love. Love can be tricky. It takes strong willpower. Do not let love interfere with your superpowers!
