I dare to ask, women, what’s the first thing you do when you  wake up? and more than thousands would say like me, look at ourselves in the mirror! Its not to scare or criticize ourselves for the way we look, whether we’ve lost weight, or if It’s worth the good sleep to rid bags under our eyes. We look at ourselves in the mirror to start connecting with the woman that has woke up with us and who will be our presence during the day.

    No matter the fields or role the morning brings us, women have always been aware that we must be prepared for a competitive day.  Mothers who find strength because they know what it takes to satisfy their kids or «home» demands; Students who risk daily hours getting a profession sometimes with uncertain results, but recognizing that to get ahead they must keep trying; Models that applying make-up, exercising, taking care of their diets, or simply socializing, they emphasize that caring our own beauty is the first step to start feeling confident in this competition; And even those who are responsible for their actions because they know the power of a simple word, they are willing to encourage their friends, for they have experienced the necessity of ‘that’ someone who supports you when thinking you can not do more. All of those women are few examples of our capacity and ability at the time when needing to show that nothing can stop us, if we decide so.

     Women’s competitors are not the other one, nor that one in the corner, nor their neighbors, nor coworkers, neither their bosses. Our competitor, though, it’s that woman we saw in the mirror in the morning the day before. We are devoted to show yesterday’s woman we have learned a lot from her, that we are really proud of her help in building this new woman today (or sad if not), and we appreciate her discretion when she takes our hurt feelings away. That woman in the mirror, the one who we sometimes are scared of because we don’t know the mood she is in, we keep asking for her ideas to deal  with obstacles during our carreers. We must protect ourselves from her every day at every time  to avoid playing an unfairly challenging competicion that happens as she weakens. But she is also whom we must look after as to protect yesterday’s woman steps as to make stronger the ones of tomorrow’s woman.

  Let’s look at ourselves in the mirror, daily, observe ourselves objectively, with the idea of improving our weaknesses; if we want to continue competing that means, then, we must learn the play: we are able to do and be more than what the mirror shows us.
