Good morning Inspiring Girls!
I just spent an intense five minutes watching seven videos from the recent Women in the World Summit, posted at The Daily Muse. No matter what you plan to do today, watching them will be worth it.
I was especially touched by the panel's answers to what they would change if they had a magic wand: education for girls, mentoring for women, and reproductive freedom? Of course! So simple. And so complicated.
Listening to these strong, accomplished women reminds me that it is the baby steps that sometimes mean the most. How many days of small deeds and ceaseless belief in their own personal power did each of them trudge through to arrive on that stage? How many lives have they touched along the way that have in turn touched them, and changed their own beliefs about what is possible in the world?
And how about you? What will you do today to inspire the change you wish to see...in your country, your workplace, your community? What about in your own household or among your group of friends? We each hold the power if we choose to use it; and together we can be an unstoppable force. So, as Hillary Clinton closed the conference with her inspiring call to movement, I close this post with mine:
Share your strength and you will grow strong. Share your ideas and you will find inspiration. Share your experience and you will grow wise. Share your time and you will grow rich. Share yourself and you will change our world.
