I keep returning to the central question facing over-50 women as we move into our Second Adulthood. What are our goals for this stage in our lives?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Most women have learned a great deal about how to set goals for our First Adulthood and how to roll with the punches when we hit a rough passage. But we're less prepared for our Second Adulthood as we approach life after retirement, where there are no fixed entrances or exits, and lots of sand into which it is easy to bury our heads.
That was a major goal for me - to be able to reach and encourage more women, to encourage them to express themselves and be what they want to be. People get very trapped where they are.
As women, we have to realize what we bring to the table. What do you want to do for the world? How do you want to change it? And when you know that, you don't have to compare yourself to anybody else.
I feel to invite women everywhere to rise to the great potential within you. I do not ask that you reach beyond your capacity. I hope you will not nag yourselves with thoughts of failure. I hope you will not try to set goals far beyond your capacity to achieve. I hope you will simply do what you can do in the best way you know.
Young women today, as in the fifties, find themselves entering the big world and having to make choices.
I want women, especially young women, to create a world where your success is not based on being young.
I've realized how important it is to have women in your life. You get to a certain age where you're like, 'I need women around.'
Women can't do everything at the same time, we need to understand milestones in our lives comes in segments.
I have gone from being a 21-year-old with wide eyes to a 24-year-old woman. With success comes a lot of responsibility and power.
I'm aiming by the time I'm fifty to stop being an adolescent.
