I hope these thoughts give you something to ponder while you enjoy your morning beverage. As you go about your day, I invite you to take some time to reflect on your observations. Consider if there’s anything you can do to enhance your life, such as looking into the mirror and appreciating yourself. You may also find a way to make the world more beautiful with a simple act of kindness, like holding the door open without expecting a thank you. You may also want to consider if you have a gift to share with the world. Perhaps you have some untapped talent you may regret wasting, as we sometimes do with unused towels or our good china. I hope you find them enjoyable and return for more tomorrow.
Masculine Feminine
Yesterday, I talked about the differences in our cultures and learning to embrace one another for our differences.
Today, I want to discuss Yin and Yang—feminine vs masculine and why we must carry a little of the other in ourselves.
It is not good to be all masculine or all feminine. For example, if someone is too masculine, they cannot bend. They may find fault with anyone who isn’t strong and assertive. They will be less likely to do some day-to-day chores around the house. They can become aggressive towards others easily.
On the other hand, if someone is too feminine, they may be unable to protect themselves or be assertive in a situation where one must be decisive. They may become upset that they do not feel their partner helps around the house, yet afraid to say anything.
The roles of masculinity and feminity have become less defined, and the lines have blurred. While this is not necessarily bad, it is an adjustment for some.
We all must be able to do things previously assigned to only one gender. As humans, we are all partners in this world, and we must embrace our similarities and differences. We must also find a way to carry a little of the other sex in us.
Today’s challenge:
Don’t decide you cannot do something because, in the past, it was the role of the other sex who performed that particular task.
