SOAR

We are told to look and act in a certain way to be accepted by others. We, as women, are pressured to be “perfect." Women are continually pushing themselves to be "perfect" to please others, and this is making it difficult for us to embrace who we truly are. But what does it mean to be "perfect"? Who decides what is or isn't "perfect"? Is there even such a thing as perfection? Women in today's world are feeling an excessive need to be what society wants them to be. This is causing many negative emotions and hindering our ability to love who we are and identify our true self-worth. I have been through this and hope that my experiences can help other teens and young women understand how important it is to just to breathe and stop pushing themselves to live up to the standards of others. I hope that through sharing my personal experiences, we can both work together towards reaching a state of self-love and acceptance, and from this state, help uplift other women. The purpose behind writing this book is not only to relieve women of the pressure to be perfect and accept themselves, but also to unleash the power within them to achieve anything they set their mind to. Every young woman carries so much potential to achieve her wildest dreams and even change the WORLD. But oftentimes, we hesitate to challenge ourselves and step outside of our comfort zone. We worry about being judged by others for the decisions we make. Many of us even fear that we might fail or not make it, and therefore end up stepping back from reaching our goals. But it’s time that we let go of all this fear and self-limiting beliefs. I want every young woman, including myself, to be bold and know that her role in the world is not to be “perfect” in the eyes of society, but is to embrace who she is and set high standards for herself and believe that she can go far in life. It is ok for young women to make mistakes because the whole point is to learn from those mistakes and apply what you have learned to achieving your goals. In addition to explaining the importance of self-acceptance and dreaming big, this book will walk you through how to go about reaching your goals and what lessons are to be learned during the process. The moment a young woman understands her potential to do extraordinary things, starts setting goals for herself, and is unapologetic about who she is…that is when she opens up a world full of opportunities. She is limitless…and she will SOAR so high in life.
