Bias - What it is?
Inclination or prejudice against one person or group, especially in a way considered to be unfair.
Crystal clear?
Truthfully, bias is real, it's a legit discussion. But also truthfully, what is more important - who we are within. When we are in the situation when we are being biased, how we react will determine what will happen next.
In any situation at anytime - our reactions matter.
Six years ago, I used to run and hustle in male-dominated industry - the petroleum industry. I have seen series of events when women are being biased - true story. However, how the situations were handled made me think further.
💛 Some decided to be better, in fact the best in the industry - they rise above!
💛 Some decided to leave, to be the best in other things they do - they rise above!
But for some, they view those who rise, differently.
"She can do it because she is this and that"
"She is someone's to someone's someone, bolehlahhh"
LOL😆
Well, that's some kind of bias too right?
It's real, and it is happening almost everywhere 😓 - some are being so biased to other's which later hinder their possibilities to rise above and be as successful!
So here what I have gathered from a heart-warming-also-mind-blowing talk I had with a group of empowered girlfriends:
💜 You know by understanding - we are different, so you must know you
💜 You learn by knowing - strengths and specialties, weaknesses and flaws
💜 You realize by learning - none is perfect but everyone is special
💜 You see by realizing - special means potential, when there is potential, there will be success (InsyaAllah)
Also here a tips - remember the time when you feel most empowered, blow that image as big as possible - the biggest size you can imagine, inhale an essential oil to anchor the feelings.
Young Living Essential Oils Suggestions:
💧Highest Potential

(You may start with basic oils in Premium Experience Starter Kit too, never put any limits)
Remember, we are our own worst enemy - beat that one enemy so together we rise above.
