The topic of women and emotion is one to be reckoned with. If I had to choose from a list of thirty six topics on Women issues I would choose this topic, regardless of what the other topics might be. As a woman I have always been concerned about women’s issues. I feel pain when I see another woman in pain, whether emotional or physical. I feel sadness when they share their sad stories with me and when I am going through my issues all kinds of questions bombard my mind. But there is one thing that always amazes me is that fact that some women are so strong that they shake off the sadness and go on to create an abundant life through their faith and determination. If some women have done it, so can you.

I believe I have been called to work with women. It comes naturally to me and for as long as I can remember I have always found myself in a role where I am encouraging others, especially women. One of the things that I am puzzled about is that women are often victims of circumstance. Some women choose to remain in bad situations instead of getting out. I have listened to many women complain over and over year after year about the same issues and they do absolutely nothing about them. Naturally as I listener and one who tries to refrain from complaining, I would give my advice and what I have noticed time and again is that the advice is not taken and the complaining continues. This though is often by the minority. I have seen many who have created the changes necessary to put the past behind them and go on to create an abundant life.

As the listener I have been I sometimes feel like a victim, because I do not want to say anything that would cause the person to feel any worse than she already feels, but I really do not want to hear the story anymore. If you are not going to do anything about it, then for God’s sake stop talking about it. In one instance I remember asking one of my complaining friends if she ever tried talking to God about these things she has told me about so many times and told her it might be a good idea to try that approach, because obviously complaining to other human beings was not helping her .

This person withdrew from me. I missed her, but I certainly did not miss hearing her relentless complaints. I believe there are times in every woman’s life when their ability to think rationally is overcome by their emotions, but there is also a time when she must let go and move on. It is evident in many life stories that I have heard that countless women have done just that. They have learned the art of coping with their emotions and embraced abundance principles.

I can attest to this, because I have experienced moments when I was not thinking rationally and made mistakes that I have regretted. The problem is that when one is in those situations, it is difficult to recognize it and objectively assess the situation. For example, I can remember between two and four weeks after the births of my second and third children I cried uncontrollably for hours, because I felt that I could not take care of the babies.
