Over the past 4 weeks, I stepped off my path to take on something that was honorable, yet quickly learned that I made the wrong decision. The undoing of my decision may have created irreparable damage to my name, character and reputation, but if that is the cost to finally understand that my life's work is no longer negotiable--then I take full ownership and the “L” so I can move forward!
I have lived long enough to know that even in the midst of misalignment, there is always a lesson to be learned and I learned the following three:
Leave the doors of your past closed. There is nothing in your past that is needed for your today.
Just because something is honorable and good, does not mean it is right.
We must be more intentional about instilling a leadership mindset in our children.
The last lesson is what is having a profound affect upon me. For my heart is heavy that more of our children do not know that they are the most intelligent beings on this earth equipped with authority. Their lack of understanding is on us—the adults in the room. Their total unawareness that leadership is a divine right and responsibility for all—is on us!
Here we are twenty-two years into a new millennium and instead of embracing our diversity to become a well-rounded thriving society, we are still in these streets denying and even stripping away basic equal rights. With messages like this coming from the highest of platforms, how could the next generation ever conceive that they have their own domain to govern with sound influence?
I don't know about you, but I have had enough!
My Sisters, as Women and Earth Mothers, we MUST settle accounts with our own personal equality and leadership; for we are in danger of passing to another generation a fight that should have been resolved and forgotten years ago. We can no longer depend upon the powers that be to finish the job. It is up to us to liberate ourselves so that our children, and their children, can have a chance to become the completely free citizens our planet was designed for.
My Brothers and Earth Fathers, we cannot do this alone! We need you! We need all of you to open your eyes and see that we have always been your equal in leadership, intelligence and physicality! Seeing us in any other way is not profitable, favorable nor sustainable. It is not too late to demonstrate to our children that leading together will move mountains and will enable us to destroy the strongholds of oppression in our lifetime!
We can only succeed in this feat if we are all in our rightful places of authority. Delaying the start of that business; hiding out in positions we do not belong; staying in positions we have outgrown and not healing from our traumas are not serving us well! Time is of the essence and we must be about our work to hand off to our children a world that is whole and positioned for growth!
Our children are watching, Leaders! As first partaker of this message, I am back in my assigned place to do my part in renewing Women's leadership mindset with fresh fire and purpose. I am also committed to creating a space for young leaders and entrepreneurs to be developed without interruption, fear or intimidation. I ask that you will also up the ante within your domain of influence and commit to contribute to the development of our next generation of 21st century leaders with me!
Together we can equip our children to take the baton; run towards a more just society filled with economic and technological possibilities and never look back!
