Recently, in a large city in Australia, a poster featuring a young, thin and tan woman appeared in the window of a gym.
It said, “This summer, do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?”
A middle-aged woman, whose physical characteristics did not match those of the woman on the poster, responded publicly to the question posed by the gym.

Women are still brought up with the myth that someone else will take care of us. That someone else is better equipped to take care of us than we are. It is interesting that women are brought up to take care of children but not considered able to take care of themselves financially. Women are considered better in relationships. They are the relationship masters. In the relationship that is going to be the longest relationship in their lives, they claim ignorance. Many behave as they are and cannot be good at that relationship. And that is despite the fact this relationship will dictate how they live their life. I am talking about the relationship with money.
Step 1: Acknowledge that you are enough.
You don’t need anyone else to rescue you; you can rescue yourself. By accepting responsibility for your own life you take back the power that you may have given to someone else. That power was always yours. You know yourself best. You know your dreams, longings, desires and needs. Whatever you choose to do you will live with the results, for better or for worse. It is the power to make things happen. To take risks. You are the one that is gong to live with the results, not the other person. When it comes down to it, you got what it takes to make the change in your life; you know what you need.
