Tell Us: What Is The Symbol Of Female Success?
| March 15, 2013 | Posted by SheNOW under Breaking Stereotypes, Featured, Quiz, Poll, or Survey |
With so much pressure on women to have it all, we want to know what our followers, friends and the world in general believe is the ultimate symbol of female success. So far, we’ve added only the “stereotypical” symbols of success to see what you think. We aren’t saying the options below are right, or wrong, but we are interested to hear what you have to say on them. If you want something added, leave a comment and let us know! Who knows, you might get quoted in an upcoming article on this!

I think having it all is sculpting the life YOU want and living it. Success is defined on your terms and not what anyone else thinks.
The ultimate symbol of female success? Not giving a sh** about how others define your successes.
I’m actually a bit surprised by the answers listed above, though I understand these are the stereotypical responses, they are often quite shallow and don’t always lead to a lifetime of happiness. While it may be nice to have material possessions, success to me is defined as accomplishing personal goals and learning from mistakes I’ve made along the way.
Excellent response Charlotte. I was thinking the same thing about the options given, which is why I chose “other.”
Having the life you want – regardless of what that is. No one else can define success for you, you have to define it yourself. As the quote goes, “Everybody is a genius. But, if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it’ll spend its whole life believing that it is stupid.” – Albert Einstein. This relates in terms of determining your own success, not letting someone else do it for you.
Financial independence—that was built on our own.
One of the most wonderful things about being a 20-something in this day and age is that my success is determined solely by me and my personal goals. Whatever I deem most important, whether it be my career, finances, personal relationships or the more material aspects of my life – I measure each. No longer does marriage (in my eyes) seem the pinnacle of womanhood and I am so thankful the paradigm has shifted.
A smile she wears more often than she whines.
As one of two dads to an amazing young woman now just starting her career and engaged to a great guy, my wish is and has always been that she finds herself and lives who she is with a partner who celebrates that in and for both of them.
True success means you are living your truth and purpose consciously which leads to deep fulfillment, not the “success” story we’ve been sold by the media, Hollywood and businesses which has us buying more and more material things but feeling empty.
The only symbol that I have attached myself to is “Lady of Venus” We as women, must know that we are all beautiful, sexy, and successful! I would also like to add, this. When I feel that I have contributed something of value to myself and an other human being, then I have become successful. The cars, clothes, homes, money, are all a residual of healthy successful relationships. Thank You She Now for Asking Us to respond!
Success to me is loving yourself through and through, despite all the mistakes made along the journey!
