To be branded a woman of substance is one of the greatest compliments one can give a woman that wants to be an \u201cinfluential\u201d female. Below, I have assembled four qualities a girl\/woman should possess in order to become a \u201cwoman of substance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #6d706e; font-family: Arial;\">Embrace your individuality and be happy the way you are<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The pressure put on women in today\u2019s society is immense and I admire any female out there who doesn\u2019t let the high demands and expectations get them down. In my experience, I have learned that we, as women, should not let the likes of \u201cperfected\u201d images or \u201ccriticism\u201d affect us and It has came as such a relief to me to realize that being different and imperfect is far more interesting than being a \u201cperfect\u201d person. I believe that being yourself and feeling happy as yourself- just the way you are signifies the word \u201cbeauty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #6d706e; font-family: Arial;\">Use your voice<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We were all blessed with voices to use them- so use them! I\u2019m a relatively quiet person and a woman of not many words who next to never will indulge in small talk chit chat. It\u2019s just who I am. However, on the other hand, when it comes to standing up for what I believe in or voicing my opinions on things, I never fail to make use of my voice. And neither shall you! Make use of what god has given you and say what you think, say what you believe in, and argue against what you don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #6d706e; font-family: Arial;\">Find your dream in life and pursue it<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Follow your heart\u2026never give up\u2026and you can do anything. We all have the ability to do whatever it is we want to do and fulfil any dream we want to fulfil; we just have to go and do it. When you find your passion in life, it creates a meaning in your life and gives you a purpose in the world: it generates happiness.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #6d706e; font-family: Arial;\">Live up to your morals and values- always remain aware of them<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Living by your morals and values in life; inspires you, motivates you and energizes you for doing something significant in the world. As children, we were always being told to be a person of moral and were educated to understand what our values are. I think, when we grow older we seem to loose or forget about those crucial qualities and in order for us to be descent human beings, we should consider re-educating ourselves on morals and values.<\/p>\n<p>Written by Lauren Kearney for Strong Women Strong Girls<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3733\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artchat.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/FB-Cover.jpg\" alt=\"FB Cover\" width=\"646\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.artchat.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/FB-Cover.jpg 646w, https:\/\/www.artchat.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/FB-Cover-300x111.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 646px) 100vw, 646px\" \/>Women of Substance\u00a0featuring <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redhillgallery.com.au\/BeciCulley2016.html\">Beci Culley<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redhillgallery.com.au\/SuzyGalloway2016.html\">Suzy Galloway<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redhillgallery.com.au\/DanielleMcManus2016.html\">Danielle McManus <\/a>continues at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redhillgallery.com.au\/Contact.php\">Red Hill Gallery<\/a>, 61 Musgrave\u00a0Road, Red Hill\u00a0until Sunday\u00a06 March 2016.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a9\u00a0\u00a0<a title=\"Red Hill Gallery\" href=\"http:\/\/www.redhillgallery.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\">Red Hill Gallery<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"al2fb_like_button\"><div id=\"fb-root\"><\/div><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n(function(d, s, id) {\n  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n  js.src = \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=499790883388518\";\n  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n}(document, \"script\", \"facebook-jssdk\"));\n<\/script>\n<fb:like href=\"https:\/\/www.artchat.com.au\/?p=3718\" send=\"true\" layout=\"button_count\" show_faces=\"true\" share=\"false\" width=\"150\" action=\"recommend\" font=\"arial\" colorscheme=\"light\" ref=\"AL2FB\"><\/fb:like><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ShareA woman of substance is a woman of power, a woman of positive influence and a woman of meaning.
