NO, Not like THAT silly!!! This is NOT a scandalous post!!!
I mean Male and Female! Girl, Boy! Dude, dudette!
I want to talk about the differences in men and women. The details that each pay attention to, and some of the areas each lack in as well.
THIS IS PURELY BASED ON MY OPINIONS AND EXPERIENCES.
Women:
Attention to time
Attention to care
Loving
Giving
Serving
Strong
Opinionated
Independent AND dependent
Emotional thinkers
People Pleasers
Need "Me" time
Need to hear they are Needed
Men:
Attention to facts
Wise
Macho
Lack attention to time
Independent AND dependent
Need attention and affection
Worry more than you think
Hard Workers
Like many hobbies
With these two lists of characteristics/habits I have noted, what point did I make for BOTH men and women?..........
Yup- Independent AND Dependent.
Two strong aspects to a personality in both sexes. It is OK to ask for help. It is ALSO OK to do it yourself. Be strong and fierce and wise in the things you do. Be uncomfortable and willing to learn with the things you don't normally do.
We have seen this a lot as C and I opened our Chiropractic practice. We each bring our own strengths AND weaknesses to the table when it comes to owning and running a business. Being able to see the good and the bad and which to focus on at a specific time IS HARD.
It is SOOOO easy to focus on what we are "bad" at. Whether I feel I am lacking in an area or whether my hubby is lacking in an area. It is easy to focus on the downs.
I am consciously making a point lately to both uplift my hubby AND myself. I am saying it is perfectly fine to say I AM GOOD AT.......(fill in the blank) and it is ok to admit I NEED HELP WITH.....(fill in the blank).
But it is NOT OK to give up and settle.
Push yourself men and women.
Lift each other up girls and boys.
And ultimately LOVE one another for how we are different and yet similar in many ways Ladies and Gents!
Aligning the sexes ;-)
