Standing Out... Am I Guilty Or what?

How dangerous it is to be excellent and attractive! We live in a world where mediocrity means safety. Women, especially (includes myself) that it is very dangerous to stick our heads above the crown. There are always others who would like to take a swig at any target. 2 groups of guys actually when dealing with this complex game of "mouse & cat". One will create all sorts of chances for themselves sparing no opportunities for failure and the 2nd group of those who backed down after sensing danger & strong competition.

Recently, someone I know has ended her relationship with her boyfriend. She became too stressed out, snapped and just sort of detached herself & left for a good period of time. Somehow, news gotten out when she returned. The guys came swooping down on her. She was humored at 1st. But after almost 2 months of running & evading, she's game. Exhausted in fact, adding on with the toil of her stressful job, she's not giving in anymore to any nonsensical demands or unwarranted attention. To many who thinks this is flattering, but in actuality, it could be quite frustrating & very often led to exasperation. So, guys, leave some space ok? Don't persist with such daunting demands as I can say. Align yourself with Mahatma Ghandi's passive ideology.

Somewhere, somehow, we have learned that the safest position we can take is back, down low. We sit on our power and try not to let others (even ourselves) see it. We may have the illusion of safety and the feeling of being a clogged-up sewer pipe.That's my advice to her.

Claiming our power maybe dangerous, and... it sure is fun.

"I have not ceased being fearful, but I have ceased to let fear take control of me. I have accepted fear as part of my life - specifically the fear of change, the fear of the unknown; and I have gone ahead despite the frantic pounding in my heart that says : Turn back, turn back, you'll die, alone , if you venture too far. The choice is made. There's no turning back."
