As Yoko Ono once said, ‘You can change the world by being yourself.’ Being one’s own complete self is easier said than done. This quote both humbles me and helps me attempt to accept myself and work on myself. With the growing exposure and rising comparison, women are more prone to the ‘Imposter Syndrome’ than ever before. Believing in oneself and knowing that we are giving our best helps us stay grounded. I have found amazing freedom and strength in being my whole self in many areas of life. If I were to share one message to all women, it would be to acknowledge and accept their gifts, and empower others to do the same.
