Yesterday was International Women's Day and I wrote a blog post inspired by the theme: #MakeItHappen. Today I'm going to replay a post I wrote last year for the same event: Inspiring Change - International Women's Day 2014.

I'd actually completely forgotten the content, but I was reminded after somebody had favourited it on Twitter (the equivalent of a Facebook Like) after a programme on my website automatically tweeted it there.

I had a read to remind myself what I was thinking a year ago, and I was pleased that my reason for doing what I do is still as strong today as it was then.
Sometimes, even with the current state of "equality" that exists, it is our own self-limiting belief that holds us back however. We believe that we aren't good enough to try something, to do something, to achieve something, to win something. Sometimes it needs somebody else to say some words that create a lightbulb moment that makes you realise you can take that step. It might be somebody who you know is going to give you their full support, but other times it may be a chance conversation that inspires you to take action - or there might have been somebody in the room who has been inspired by the words of another.
I'd love to hear your comments on this post

I help clients become happier and more confident by giving them a Makeover from the Inside Out to change their internal and external view of themselves.
I'm not really interested in fashion, just what clothes can do for your self-image - that's where the Forget Fashion blog title originated, so I won't be doing much commentary on the latest catwalk styles.Instead, I write about things I come across in life that make me reflect.Sometimes it's serious.Sometimes it's just fun.Hopefully you'll like my writing style, find what I write about interesting and enjoy the experience.If you do, share the love using the boxes below - thank you 😀
