What makes women happy

Choices! Choices! Women these days have endless options, and we should be the happiest generation of women in history. We choose if we wanna get married or not, have children and when. Interesting Career options are on offer and we have a choice to have a career or to have a man take care of all your finacial need and this is all purely by CHOICE, no-one forces you to do anything. Unilke women from past generatiom , we have a lot of opportunities and we should consider ourselves lucky....
Yet we are unhappy and not satisfied.
The million choices we have are not much and when we do choose we are left with the thought of "what if the choice i made is not the right one" what if i took this instead of that. we wanna get married and have children but we also want financial idependance, we fear that if we don't have careers we will end up depending on men for the rest of our lives. When we do choose our careers we worry about whether we'll ever get married and who will take care of my children while i work, who'll help then read and play with them.
We just want to have it all and at some point we are so confused that we  just avoid choosing at all. We worry about material things, like looking thin and wanting to having the latest cars and latest mobile handsets, getting plastic surgery to look younger. But does all this fill the emptiness we often feel inside, does it make us happy when we are all alone in our home. Because all of these material things are for people's ayes, we wanna appear cool and classy. We compete with our friends and we become jealous of their achievements rather that being happy for them. Life is more than flashy cars, expensive clothing labels and all...being happy is more tham that, its feeling inside, its peace within you, the feeling of being loved and knowing you're sarounded by people who care and appreciate who you are. Happiness if being comfortable in your own skin and body. Standing in the rain barefoot, playing in the sun and not caring what other people think.
Happiness is the fulfillment of doing what you enjoy with the people you love.
Lets appreciate the opportunities and the choices we have as women of today. Lets enjoy our independance and most of all appreciate and recognise our strengths and our abilities.

From a woman to another!
