Women should embrace their ambition and not shy away from it from "summary" of Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg
We hold ourselves back in ways both big and small, by lacking self-confidence, by not raising our hands, and by pulling back when we should be leaning in. We internalize the negative messages we get throughout our lives—the messages that tell us we are not good enough. We shrink away from our true potential because we fear being judged or criticized. These fears can hold us back from pursuing our ambitions and achieving our goals. Women are often discouraged from being ambitious, as society expects us to be modest and self-effacing. We are told to prioritize others over ourselves and to avoid standing out. This societal pressure can lead us to downplay our accomplishments and to shy away from taking on leadership roles. We must challenge these expectations and embrace our ambition without apology. It is crucial for women to believe in themselves and to own their strengths and abilities. By acknowledging our worth and capabilities, we can step into our power and fulfill our potential. We should not be afraid to pursue our goals and dreams, even if they seem out of reach. Embracing our ambition means being unapologetically ambitious and unafraid to take risks. We must stop internalizing the negative messages that hold us back and start believing in our own potential. It is time for women to lean into their ambitions and to stop hiding their light under a bushel. By embracing our ambition, we can empower ourselves and pave the way for future generations of women to do the same. It is time to break free from the constraints that society has placed on us and to boldly pursue our dreams.
