I thank the author for writing this article. It is full of positive affirming thoughts and actions. The above comments don't only apply to women. I don't see it as a women-only article. This well applies to males, people with a disability, race and those who may be discriminated for other reasons.
Your samples of positive thinking affirmations from various people may even apply to those people from a low socioeconomic status whose thinking may not have been enlightened with ideas and thoughts that were never part of the narrative of a person from a low socioeconomic status.
In sum, these positive affirming statements don't apply to women only. It applies to all who have suffered self-limiting behaviour either put on ourselves, put on by other "authority figures", or whatever is perceived to be a self-limiting cultural norm. The list is not exhaustive.
Thank you,
Anthony of upbeat Belfield
