I was talking with a middle-aged woman and the topic of glass ceilings surfaced causing me to wonder what’s keeping that topic alive. I felt women have come so far and yet there seems to be this illusion that glass ceilings still exist when it comes to women advancing in their careers.
What can we do about that? One thing for sure is to gain greater awareness!
Shatter the energetic ‘myth about glass ceilings’ instead of continually putting valuable time and energy towards justifying this illusion that glass ceilings even exist. I call this an illusion because this is not physically real…it exists on an energetic level.
When it comes to energy…there are two universal laws at work here. These laws exist energetically and literally apply to every human being on the planet, whether we accept them or not. They are…
1. Where our attention goes…so goes our energy.
2. What our intention is…so has to happen.
If women as a collective group continue to put their attention towards trying to shatter something that isn’t physically real, they continue to keep the myth energetically alive in the consciousness of the world. If their attention and energy are being directed towards trying to shatter a ceiling…there will be very little energy centered on advancing a career. The result…an energetic block that continues to collectively hold women back in more ways than they’re aware of.
What can we do? Instead of keeping the conversation alive about a so-called ceiling holding us back, we as a collective group of women need to continually put our valuable time and energy towards focusing on having a stronger presence, building self-awareness and gaining greater wisdom inside.
Why? Well using another analogy…women no longer need to put their energy towards shattering glass; that can be messy. When women truly feel there’re ready to advance to the next level, they can now utilize the grace, awareness and strength from inside to go up the stairs and walk through the door into their new role. That’s a more efficient way to work with the universal laws for the greater good of all.
There is nothing more powerful than your own grace and awareness.
