Diane von Furstenberg once said, “I didn't know what I wanted to do, but I always knew the woman I wanted to be.” 

Everyday we are faced with choices that help guide us on the road to our life's path. We become unaware of these choices because of how subliminal they may be; they are hidden in the relationships we chose to pursue or even the assignments we chose to prioritize. 

As the women of today we are exposed to an endless amount of opportunities, thanks to the remarkable ladies before us who fought for our dreams. We have the ability to become doctors, lawyers, presidents, journalists.. whatever our hearts desire. 

I've spent years dedicating myself to self actualization. What I discovered was a simple formula that always does the trick:

your talents + your interests + your values= YOU!

Finding those individually can be a challenge. It does take trial and error (and lots of error, trust me). But each day we are presented with the chance to explore and soak in as much experience, insight, and inspiration as possible. 

Use today to get you one step closer to the women you want to be.

Couldn't have an article about career women without one of the dearest, Anna Wintour.
