Being a woman in this day and age is really difficult. We live in a society where women still are not fully valued and appreciated for all that they offer. Even so, it’s important to stand strong and be a woman because that’s what the world needs, even if it doesn’t always realize it. Being a woman may be difficult, but there are so many reasons to be proud to be a woman and what that means. And I wanted to share some of the qualities I would like to have as a woman.

I want to be the kind of woman that encourages others.

I consider myself to be a pretty encouraging and uplifting person, but I want to be so encouraging that I encourage strangers. I want to encourage people I don’t even know. I think it is such an amazing quality to have. It’s really important to be able to lift someone else up and help inspire them. I want to be happy for people and share a warm smile with them that knows someone notices them.

I want to be the kind of woman who doesn’t need a guy.

Sometimes I find myself trapped in a web of lies believing that I need a guy in my life. Maybe it’s the external pressure to get married and have kids, maybe it’s the internal pressure of seeing everyone else have a guy in their life, or maybe it’s a mixture of both. Regardless, I want to shut out those thoughts indefinitely and know that I am enough on my own and that I don’t need a guy in my life to be happy or successful.

I want to be the kind of woman who speaks her mind.

I have been far too quiet in the past, especially when it comes to defending myself or something I believe in. I have not stood up for myself and spoke my mind when I needed to the most. Because of that I have gained one of the worst qualities I could see myself having and that is complacency. I don’t want to give people the idea that they can just say and do whatever they want to me and it will be fine.

I want to be the kind of woman who compliments herself.

I am really bad at this one. I do not compliment myself. I have a hard enough time accepting compliments from other people, let alone myself. But I am slowly learning the significance of complimenting yourself and being kind to yourself. It’s not cool to constantly tear yourself down because you will eventually start to believe those things. So I really want to get into a better habit of building myself up when appropriate.

I want to be the kind of woman who is proud of her accomplishments.

I don’t have many people in my life who are really proud of me and all of the things I have accomplished in my life so far. Because of that I don’t really view my accomplishments or any of my success as a really big deal. But they are a big deal and I should be proud. Just because other people let their jealousy and resentment get in the way of being happy for me doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be happy for myself.

I want to be the kind of woman who keeps in touch with people who matter.

I do the best I can with this already, but I really want it to be a priority in my life. I know the significance of keeping in touch with the important people in life and I think we should make more of an effort to reach out to those people. It’s something I think is really important and no matter how busy I am or what I have going on I always want to make sure I am keeping in touch with the important people in my life.

I want to be the kind of woman who is strong and independent.

I have a good amount of strength and I am independent in a lot of ways, but I am looking to really be independent. So independent that I can take care of things by myself when I need to. Not that asking for help is a bad thing, but I want to make sure if I can’t get help that I am able to be independent and take care of things for as long as I need to. I want to make sure if I can’t get help that I don’t just fall apart.

I want to be the kind of woman who has big dreams and aspirations.

I want to allow myself to have lofty goals and things that I want to accomplish. I want to dream big because I know the bigger my dreams are the harder I will want to work to get to those dreams and make them a reality. So I really want to allow myself to create a vision with dreams, goals, and visions that maybe seem a bit out of reach right now and then continue working towards them consistently in the future.

I want to be the kind of woman who lives an authentic life.

I would consider myself to be a pretty real and authentic person. Even in the world of online and social media, I still remain pretty true to myself. And I hope that as I continue to grow and reach various goals and accomplish certain things that I remain authentic. Not that I am afraid that I won’t, but I want to make sure that I keep that in mind at all times. I want to live as true to myself as I possibly can at all times.

I want to be the kind of woman who is always there for others.

Sometimes life gets really busy and we can’t always be there for everyone. However, I want to be there for as many people as I can be. I know what it feels like to not have anyone and feel completely alone and I want to be able to help as many people as possible stop from feeling that way. I want to help as many people as I can and do my part in helping brighten other people’s lives and give what I can.

Being a woman can be pretty challenging at times, but with these qualities I would be really proud of the woman I hope to become. I do have some of these qualities, but I want to continue to grow in them and be even better than I am now. The goal is always to be better and be stronger. I want to have the strength and courage to live my life to its fullest and defend myself when necessary.
