5 Rules to Being a Gem of a Woman

Tue, 30 Apr 2013 08:13:17 -0400

Rule #1: Respectability

Respect yourself. Respect those around you. If you don’t hold yourself in high regard, no one else will either.

Rule #2: Shine bright like a diamond.

Put on your best “you” at all times. That means always look presentable, wear a winning smile, and exude positivity and confidence.

Rule #3: Self-Worth.

Know your worth. Know what you’ll accept and what you won’t. Know what you will put up with and what you won’t. Know your limits and your standards.

Rule #4: Know your best qualities and showcase them.

Know what you’re good at and use those skills positively to the best of your abilities.

Rule #5: Gems come in all colors and sizes.

Love the skin you’re in.

“America needs to understand Islam, because this is the one religion that erases from its society the race problem. Throughout my travels in the Muslim world, I have met, talked to, and even eaten with people who in America would have been considered white, but the white attitude was removed from their minds by the religion of Islam. I have never before seen sincere and true brotherhood practiced by all together, irrespective of their color.”

If only women genuinely understood our worth … we used to be Queens. If only men genuinely understood manhood … y’all used to be kings.
