Up The Ladder.

There is an attitude that I have noticed recently in young women. It is mainly put into practice by those fresh out of college and feel that the world is at their fingertips. I’m not saying that this is a bad attitude, necessarily, just that it might be counteractive.



I think that this attitude comes out of the ideas of feminism and the empowerment of women. There are some that feel as if the world frowns upon them because they are women; whereas, if they were men, the world would be peachy…they would get paid more, get promotions more, receive more benefits, etc. And depending upon their environments, this may very well be the case. But, in my opinion, just because you want to point out the inequality in a certain system does not mean that you are supposed to climb up the corporate ladder in a single bound and run the company.


Some women are meant to lead large organizations, be in political office, be high ranking administrators, etc. But this attitude that is impressed upon women as they emerge into the working world makes all of them feel that it is their destiny to go against the grain, prove someone wrong, make a statement to the world.


Here is my point: If God calls you to a high level of leadership, and He equips you for it in every way imaginable, go for it. That is what He wants you to do. But if God presents you with an opportunity to blossom where He has planted you, use your skills, continue learning, and thrive…be content with that. We do not all have to place this enormous weight upon our shoulders that it is our sole responsibility to make a name for ourselves. Can’t we just play the background?


We need to realize that God’s got us. He’s had us from the beginning of time, and He is never going to let go. So whatever He gives us to do for Him, we should do it…knowing that we are totally insignificant in the scheme of all that He has planned.


When fears are stilled, when strivings cease.
