STOP UNDERESTIMATING YOURSELF



The biggest mistake human can make is underestimating herself/ himself. And the biggest barrier to empowering women is that, the unbelievably empowered creatures on earth can’t see or feel their power. How heartbreaking!!! You would never underestimate the power to produce, would you? Ladies, think of a world without us. Can you see any future? Well I can see. The future is the end of the mankind. There can never be mankind without women. I have seen women being tortured by their husbands. I knew someone who had to go through this torturous situation when she was pregnant. In spite of her pregnancy, that monster didn't spare her. But when I asked her why don’t you leave him, you know what she said? She told “where else should I go? Who will take care of my baby?” I can’t believe, this girl was depending on someone with her child, who didn't care at all for his unborn baby. He didn't even think that after being beaten up so badly, the baby in the womb can get hurt or even miscarried. The woman I’m talking about used to work at our place. She used to earn enough to take care of her needs. She was always a smiling face to me. Whenever I used to look at her I felt good. But after she got married, she looked horrifying. I asked her about it. But she always used to change the topic or make fun of my question. I thought maybe I was wrong. But when I saw the marks on her hands and face, I understood things were much worse than I thought. I feel bad for her. She didn't even let us complain to the police. I don’t understand what she thinks of this bastard. He is the king of the world!! He has got all the power to ruin someone’s life winking an eye!! And what she thinks of herself?? A powerless creature, which has to survive with the help and kindness of that man? I have never supported separation. But I can never support abuse as well. The only reason I couldn't help her was she never could gather enough courage to stand for herself. She underestimated her power as a human. It is essential for all of us to understand our importance. God needs both men and women to continue His creation. So please, stop underestimating yourselves.
