What it means to be a goddess today.
This is by far the most important advice I have to offer on being a goddess to a man. In my experience, men are often very self-centered, and rarely consider what they may be missing out on if they don’t engage with the feminine. I’ve seen it all too often: men talking about how they “don’t get” the feminine side of themselves, only focusing on the masculine side.
Now, I have been accused of this myself in some circles. I am often asked for female empowerment, and my answer has always been: “You can be empowered as you are”. The key is to work from inside yourself and from your own self-awareness, not someone else’s perception of who you want to be.
But what about the “what ifs?” What if women didn’t feel like they needed to wear makeup in order to appear attractive? What if there were no rules on how women should dress or behave? What if there were no laws prohibiting women from making money independently? What if women had more freedom than men did? There are many things that would change our lives and that we could do with additional freedom (and it would certainly be a lot cheaper!).
The above is just one example of what being a goddess to a man might look like. As with any information offered here, you should make up your own mind about whether it fits your personal values and needs; but please take this advice seriously — it is very important for you as an individual to know where you stand when it comes to gender equality in society today.
Finding inner peace.
There are a few ways to be a goddess in your life. You can opt for the more traditional route: being an amazing wife and mother, raising your kids with as much love and attention as you give yourself, and keeping up with the latest fashion. Or, you can be a goddess at work — leading a team that’s completely on your terms, getting things done at a breakneck pace, and building long-lasting relationships with everyone you encounter.
You don’t have to settle for one or the other — it’s all about playing both sides of the game at once. Whether you are a self-employed writer who is still living at home, or a professional who works from home most of the time, there are several ways to be a goddess in your life.
Empowering the feminine self.
There’s plenty of advice that’s all over the internet, even in the comments sections of articles. The common theme here is that a man should do the following:
• Women should be praised for what they do (especially for those things that women should do)
• Men should praise women for their accomplishments (so as to balance out the patriarchy)
• Men should be generous with praise (since it makes women feel good and confident)
I thought I would provide a little context on this point, since I’ve seen it pop up in discussions and responses to this post. It may be useful to have a general framework for thinking about how we can improve our relationship with men and not just with women:
A man is something like a pixel in a picture of a woman. A woman is something like an image on the screen of any computer. A woman has her own unique features (like her own face), her own distinct features, her own unique personality and so on. A man has his own unique features (like his face), his own distinct features, his own unique personality . . . . [The three important things are] 1) he’s unique; 2) he has his own uniqueness; 3) he’s different from other people.
These are just some of the ways we can think about men: We need to recognize their uniqueness, appreciate them as an individual, challenge them as individuals when necessary, encourage them as individuals when necessary, respect and celebrate their individuality, acknowledge their differences instead of disregarding them (because they are different), support their individuality instead of undermining it and so on.
If you want to know more about being a man or being a good man or being more feminine or being more successful or doing more cool stuff with your life or all these things I’m going to say at this point will make you feel bad about yourself, please get some counseling first.
One thing that tips me off when people talk about how they are “not feminist” is if it involves “gender equality” or “men/women equality” then that’s not going to happen because men have power too! Women would benefit from having power too because there’s tons of other ways we can achieve our goals besides getting rid of men entirely!
Also please note that I’m not saying one gender is better than another but simply pointing out what happens when we simplify things by focusing
Being a role model for other women.
As the old saying goes, “you are what you eat.” The same holds true for business:
If you want to be anything, you must first be yourself.
Being a source of strength and support.
There is an old, old saying that goes “when in Rome, do as the Romans do.” This is really a personal thing: it means to follow your gut and be true to yourself.
A lot of people will say they are beautiful, but they are not. They are not as good looking, or as charming as they think they should be. Their appearance has been manipulated to make them look great. They may have even “messed up” their appearance by making themselves seem more attractive than they are (and this is obviously a bad idea).
If you don’t like how you look and how you feel on a daily basis, then you may want to consider altering the way you look and how you feel in order to be more attractive. This is another way of saying “follow your instincts” – do things that make you feel better about yourself rather than just being impressed with others (this can also be applied to relationships too).
Why being a goddess is important in today’s world.
To be a goddess, you need to have confidence in your ability to be a good person and take care of those around you. You also need to be self-sufficient, confident in yourself, and able to accept responsibility. You need to have ambition, but not too much ambition. You have to have compassion for others without sacrificing your own desires or needs. You need humility, but with confidence and authenticity.
The above is a little bit of a departure from the traditional idea that being a goddess requires total surrender, complete dedication to others, and the sacrifice of everything for others (which is what I love about the concept).
