Success

Success as a woman is difficult enough with the constant barriers of battling to be taken seriously by men and more surprisingly other women. 

It takes so much more to be a successful woman in this world with misogyny and chauvinism still playing a huge part in every day life.

More recently though it is becoming more and more apparent that a huge number of women are also pitting against successful women when we need nothing more than the support of the women around us. Why make it easier for men to see that other women aren't taking you seriously or are belittling your success because you are a woman?

There is so much pressure on you already as you're excelling in your field, it can be hard to stay focused, especially knowing that as soon as you trip there are men and women alike waiting in the lines to jeer and exclaim they always knew you were a failure. People like this are wasting their own energy in to hoping someone else will fail, does it really benefit them or anyone else in the long run?

Having failures in life are what you need to make you stronger, how can you learn anything if you've never failed or made a mistake? 

Success stories don't give up at the first hurdle or else they wouldn't be successes.

Women need to rally around other women who are defying the odds and are becoming successful in their own rights. 

We need to support one another and prove that we can.
