10 Attributes of the Fierce, Fearless Femina

10.) She’s meek.

She’s powerful, but self controlled. But her whit and wisdom keep her power in check, she keeps a tight reign on her force. She understands that power restrained builds empires, where unleashed force can only destroy.

(Didn’t you see Frozen? Yeah, don’t let that go…)

9.) She has a plan.

She’s not out there living willy nilly, hoping that good things happen. She knows what she wants. She has goals, a vision and nothing is going to stop her. She has an in-writing, achievable timeline for getting what she wants.

From a Homeschool Victim Who Obviously Survived

Now mind you, he is 17, and as of February 2011, he is worth 100 MILLION dollars!

Our Greatest Resource - TIME! Anyone else struggle with time management?

Our greatest resource, and possibly the most abused, is TIME!
