Hello, Fellas! Live in this complicated world is exhausting but also challenging. Days by days we have been through without no struggling. Especially for us, the youth people. We usually heard if the young generation is the life pillars of leadership in our future life. Thus, much hopes and decisions are given to us. Maybe some of us thought these things is difficult to be true, but isn’t mean impossible. So guys, right now I want to sharing either advances you all, particularly girls or women how to develop or be a women who is firm and committed.
Since we grew up, there’s a lot of issues about crimes against women. Ranging from physical to psychological crimes. In the old era, women are depicted as figures who had no power, not eligible to work or get a proper education, until had no authority to the same position as men. In a simply way we can say no equality between women and men in that time. But now, time flies and society change. After a long journey and many struggles from activists to equalize rights, now we’re here. We got a freedom life as a women. Can do anything everything we want without any pressure and prohibitions anymore.
Then, what should we do now? As a millennial girl or woman, most of us have a big dream to be what we want to become. We have many ways to make it real. We can grow as strong and independent as men. But one thing we should remember if how freedom we are, we still a women. We have a rules in our feminist part. Besides that, in this article will share about the important of being commitment and always tell the truth even it’s hurt.
For now, honesty and commitment are very rare. Being a woman doesn't mean we can always be considered weak. We must have a firm and wise characteristic too. The assumptions of women who are easily managed and manipulated is no longer exist in this day and age. That was proved by some occurrence such as the existence of several female leaders who lead both at the regional and central levels. There’s one of the President of Indonesia is a woman, that woman is the daughter of the first President, Ir. Soekarno. Her name is Megawati Soekarno Poetri. Moreover, if we do throwback further, when the Hindu-Buddha empire still exists in this countrry, there was a queen that ruled the empire of Tarumanegara. Well-known as Ratu Sima. Ratu Sima itself has good personality, like she is so brave, firm, and also consistent with every single words and decisions that she ever made.
Based on these facts, we already take an examples either make a reflection to be able to build a firm and committed personality. Besides that, when you want to become a leader, having an honest personality is no less important. Being a leader doesn’t mean we have to be the head of a sector or organization or institution. But the leader itself can be interpreted we become a leader for ourselves is the most important thing.
Finally, now I will offer some steps or ways that can foster a sense of honesty and commitment in us, especially a woman, that is :
1. To be honest, you must understand that it is better to be hurt because of the truth than happy because of a lie. Be in love with reality. The important one is, just tell the truth even when it hurts.
2. To be commitment, the main thing I guess we must have is self-control. "SELF-CONTROL" plays an important role, we can actually practice that ability (self-control) so that it can be the key to being consistent with various positive goals in our lives. How do you practice self-control skills? Well, here are some tips from me :
- Make a Steady Commitment; In order for us to be consistent with our goals, the commitments are made must also be contemplated that it’s what we really want.
- Think about the things that make you inconsistent?; maybe that’s kind of dealing with mental block or distracted attention by distraction
- Focus on developing gradually. Start from the small first.; Try to challenge yourself to start with very simple things until you have no more reason to be lazy to do it.
Okay, that's more or less tips from me to be able to practice self-control and encourage us to be consistent and not afraid to speak the truth. So that’s all sharing about a little history of female leaders in Indonesia, consistency, commitment, and self control. Regardless of whatever form of positive commitment you want to achieve, I hope this article can be useful for those of you who have difficulty being consistent with their commitments.
