Done Is Better Than Perfect.

I Realized That Searching For A Mentor Has Become The Professional Equivalent Of Waiting For Prince Charming. We All Grew Up On The Fairy Tale "seeping Beauty," Which Instructs Young Women That If They Just Wait For Their Prince To Arrive, They Will Be Kissed And Whisked Away On A White Horse To Live Happily Ever After. Now Young Women Are Told That If They Can Just Find The Right Mentor, They Will Be Pushed Up The Ladder And Whisked Away To The Corner Office To Live Happily Ever After. Once Again, We Are Teaching Women To Be Too Dependent On Others.

I Wish I Were Strong Enough To Ignore What Others Say, But Experience Tells Me I Often Can't. Allowing Myself To Feel Upset, Even Really Upset, And Then Move On - That's Something I Can Do.

Being Confident And Believing In Your Own Self-worth Is Necessary To Achieving Your Potential.
