Dear Alpha Female,
Let’s just get a few things straight. You were made in God’s image. You are not a bitch. You are not a problem to be dealt with.
Some people may be intimidated by you. Others may not know what to do with all of your power and confidence.
Those are their problems, not yours.
Don’t dumb yourself down for the comfort level of others.
YOUR JOB on this earth is to lead. It is to push people to their best and to accept nothing short of excellence to the benefit of others and to the benefit of your increasingly amazing life for both you and the people who depend on you. It is to say the things others are afraid to say. It is to take a stand when one needs to be taken. It is to move initiatives forward. And it is to be strong if for nothing more than to serve as a consistent, ever presence source of strength so that others can find their own strength, too.
Being a strong woman does not keep you from being loving. In fact, it is because you love so much that you are willing to push and expect better of people and situations.
So the next time you doubt yourself…the next time you feel a little less popular in a group of average people who think average thoughts and give average contributions to the world…remember that you were fearfully and wonderfully made. Stand in your strength and do the great things you were put on this earth to do.
