I came across the website richwomensisterhood.com this morning.  I like the concept, and I like the idea of a place where women can interact with enlightening women, feel a sense of sisterhood and become empowered through their connections, but I have to admit that my experiences with women throughout my life have not been good.

I have five sisters, a mother, several aunts, and two grandmothers. There is no shortage of women in my family and yet there isn’t a single woman in my life I can call when I need someone to talk to. I had a therapist but that’s quite different paying someone to listen to you. In my lifetime I’ve only had a few female friends and the friendships have never lasted. Maybe the problem has to do with me not being a likable person, but you see, that’s entirely the problem.

Kim Kiyosaki is quoted as saying she believes the world would be a better place if there were more rich women. While I don’t know why exactly Kim Kiyosaki thinks the world would be a better place if there were more rich women, I would venture to suggest one of the main reasons the world would be a better place if there were more rich women is because so much revolves around the woman. A woman’s mood can either make the people around her very happy or very miserable.

If more women were rich then fewer women would be unhappy; and if fewer women are unhappy then more people are happy. Whether or not money buys happiness, women are existing in a society that puts a great deal of emphasis on material and other superficial things. Women with money certainly appear to be happier and more content than women who have to struggle financially.

When you have to struggle you’re going to be more prone to bad moods. When you can relax knowing you have the money you need to take care of yourself and you can freely live the life you want to live, you’ll usually be in calmer and more pleasant spirits.

Women have a great deal of power. When they feel deprived, cheated, inferior and otherwise lacking they tend to use their power to tear down the people around them. When they feel fulfilled, confident and happy they tend to use their their power to build up the people around them. More women building up the people around them would mean more happy, secure people in the world which automatically makes the world a better place.

Can you do anything about it, whatever it is you’re stressing yourself out about right now? Let it go. You’re not locked in chains. People have endured worse. People are enduring worse. You’re free right now. Maybe tomorrow you won’t be. You can’t predict the next moment but right now you’re free so breathe.
