March is Women's History Month. Here at The International Center for Women we are dedicated to serving women all over the world, and I will be highlighting women and their incredible capacity and resilience this month. I know their stories will inspire you to re-discover your best self and make your own history.
This week I will start with honoring Janet Echelman, artist and sculptor, who changed the ordinary into the extraordinary but considered herself an "unlikely person" to create what she did. But she went ahead anyway. And created such amazing, moving art that delights and amazes people on almost every continent because she did not let the ‘un-likely’ part get in the way of what she was gifted to do. Because of the she was able to share her Best Self with the world.
How many of us consider ourselves to be un-likely, un-available, un-trained, un-talented? We need to delete the 'un' part of these words which we tell ourselves and others. Many times they are excuses for being scared or unwilling to do something new. We tell ourselves that it is ok to stay in our comfort zone. But many times it is not. And over time it becomes not only boring but terribly sad to see all of our potential ‘un-used’.
You may have read some of my blogs before where I talk about the potential and capacity within us. I am SO amazed at how much raw ability, talent, willingness and energy we have inside of us, especially as women. March is a perfect time to acknowledge our capacity and use the desires and talents we have within. Promise yourself and make a plan that you will commit to re-discovering (or discovering for the first time) all that you have within you.
In her first TED talk*, Janet says "I didn't know where to begin but I said Yes!" Give your self permission to say "Yes!" to doing something you really want to do - to that little voice within that encourages you to learn more, to take a risk, to choose a decision to be happier.
This is the perfect time to say "Yes!' and to take action in creating the amazing history of your own life.
