The word selfishness has received a bad rap. Especially for women where in many ways’ society has asked them to define their superior womanhood by self sacrifice and ultimately placing themselves on the back burner. Many times, society’s message is that to be that “superwoman” you have to sacrifice yourself for your partner, for your children, for your family. But where do you fit in the equation? If you leave yourself last, then you risk your own health and well being. I am going to get you to look at selfishness differently. Change your perspective. Look at selfishness as necessary self care

Usually aggression is seen as a positive attribute in males. It is perceived that someone who is aggressive is seen as strong, command their environment and ultimately get what they want. Many times, women believe that they have to espouse aggressive traits in order to be taken seriously and get what they want. However, at times when women are labelled as aggressive, it is seen in a negative light. There is a difference between aggressive and assertive. Assertive is being self-assured and confident without being aggressive. It is embracing your own voice, exuding confidence and boldness.
