STOP BEING TERRITORIAL AND START WORKING TOGETHER! Stop being territorial and do not see everything as a threat (including other women). Being a wise woman nowadays means that you recognize your own vulnerability. And you reach out when you need to ask for help, support and once in a while, a glass of wine! We all know how hard it is to be at the top of the chain (any chain, any industry). Even harder is to retain your place that you have fought so much to earn. It took years to get where you are. So, I totally understand that your first instinct is to preserve what you have! Of course. Nobody knows exactly what it takes, how many hours, how many challenges, and what you had to lose to get where you are. You want to preserve your territory but I am telling you: if you share, collaborate and care, your actions will give you much more. Have you heard about karma? No, I am not that religious, but I believe in the law of attraction (quantum physics). The Law of Attraction teaches that we attract into our lives whatever we focus on - everything is energy and we are the creator of our own universe and our own reality. And energy is shapeable, formable and moldable. So, we shape, form and mold our energy that impact in our reality. Therefore, if you feel threatened all the time, you are frightened all the time. Being vulnerable is not easy especially if you have fought hard to get to the top. However, the top would be wealthier if you share the top with people who have your back, people who have been on a similar journey in life, women who will create and develop with you a safe place. Open up to new experiences. Be vigilant if it feels more comfortable for you but try not to just shut the door – I guarantee you that being alone is not enjoyable. Create a circle of women who understands you and vibrate with the same energy. They will be your safe place. And you will be happier.
