Success Does Not Depend On Your Marital Status

Do successful women need to be married? Is it a man's world out there and women can't succeed in business and even worse, an unmarried one at that?

I probably would have believed other women at one time if they told me that they are having difficulty in the business world because they are single. That people can't understand why a women is single and not married, what is wrong with her. I would believe like so many others that you are right, society is to blame.

So what was it that really helped me realize that women hold themselves back from success. I read a book by author Lisa Jimenez called "Don't Mess With a Princess" which gave me much insight into what labels we place on ourselves as women. For me, being a mother at one time made me feel that to be successful I would be compromising my ability to raise children.

Ladies, if you at any point don't consider yourself first a woman who can be whoever you want to be then it will be difficult for you to convince anyone else! If you are blaming society then you are focused on the belief that society's opinion of yourself counts higher than your own. The truth is that your own opinion of yourself is what counts. You get what you focus on.

Labels we place upon ourselves are only labels that hold you back. Let go of your belief to fight, to struggle, to be right. Forgive yourself about their opinions and don't focus on it. You get what you focus on. You may say, but Michelle, "I am focused but society won't let me be who I want to be". I say that by focusing on why society is not happy with your marital status is just going to get you more of what you are thinking about. Always focus on what it is you want. Don't focus on your present situation but focus on what the solution or what it is you desire to be. By releasing yourself from the present situation you now are moving forward towards your goals, regardless of your marital status.

Now the part about women and men working alongside together I truly believe is possible. This topic is covered wonderfully in the book, "Don't Mess With A Princess" by Lisa Jimenez. It is a must read if you are climbing the corporate ladder!

Remember that whatever you choose in life to do, life is supposed to be fun. So go ahead and be everything you desire. Don't hold yourself back from success because you are single.
