Why Playing Small Is Destructive

There are many reasons women tell themselves they still have time to do the things they have always dreamed of doing. But what most do not realize is that they are playing small and this behavior could be destructive.

The scary truth is that these women could wake up one day and realize that they are out of time. As the saying goes, time waits for no one. Do not put off doing tomorrow something that can be done now.

So what are some of the reasons that women cling to the destructive pattern of playing small?

Women often place their lives on hold for family reasons. We frequently hear women make excuses such as:

“My kids are still small”

“I am still young and there is time”

“I am happy and satisfied as I am”

“I have a full-time job and am too busy to think of anything else”

The list of excuses that women make is endless.

There are also norms that society places on women that add to the problem. Some of these norms have caused women to take the back seat and do nothing. Most stop dreaming because they think it is useless and will never happen.

There is still time for women to wake up from their dreams and begin to live their dreams. Now is the time to put aside fear and negative thoughts and push ahead to realizing dreams. Tomorrow may not come, do what you can today.

You have to build the confidence to change your mindset and transform your life.

Only you can do that. You can make that DECISION now to turn your life in the right direction. You could be an inspiration to so many women.

By doing this you can begin to help other women do the same.
