EAT IT, BE IT!

People often adopt phrases like "you are what you eat”. Well, in this timely piece, the food, as well as the consumables here, are likened to other familiar words that I would interchange on a timely basis, so brace yourself. The words are; your thoughts, character, knowledge, attitude, and of course, your purpose in life.

Experiences, privileges, opportunities and environments differ with each female child. Some very interesting, some very challenging, some very enduring and some have only life as the only gift they could identify with while growing. Well, despite the circumstances surrounding our birth and growth, we could only be grateful to God and to our parents for not making selfish and unwholesome decisions to rob us of the opportunity to express ourselves while growing up.

Some folks might go like, well this article is not for me because I am most privileged to leverage on a whole lot, hmm! That’s true to an extent, but knowledge from others could just grow your humility while enjoying the privileges. Another may also say I probably have given up on hope trying, as the story never changes well the knowledge on this article would only broaden your mind to how much you can do to change your situation and mindset for the better. It all begins with you before the next person ever notices.

Every female child while growing up is inspired to be a great woman as regards what she reads, characters she frequently identifies with, what makes her passion, what she often hears from peers, parents, siblings and environment and this is just the foundation of what becomes strong or dominant as a trait as she grows to become a woman.

She wants to play? Well of course she is a child. But for every play a child is involved in, there is a character embedded. Don't dismiss her character when she eats, plays, reads, writes or associates with her peers. It is expedient you watch the traits carefully, as it could go a long way to back your response, to scold or encourage her when she puts the same character to mind building activities for future use.

Quote me, “What a Girl Consumes as a Girl would either Corrupt her or Complement her". Sweet teenagers! Technology now encourages you to learn on a fast lane and of course presents you with the ‘Hows’ and the ‘Whys’ but not the implication simply because it can't be precise as it differs with individuals.

Watch what you eat! Be mindful of what you consume, because whatever you consume as a growing girl child, could Make you or Mare you as a Woman. Taking lots of fatty foods, for instance, can increase the cholesterol level in your body which could result in a heart attack or related illnesses and if you take vitamins you could only help your body system to get nourished. So, we are relatively talking about the acts of life and the very vitalities to maximize same and it means you have to make eating healthy a lifestyle if you want to continue in good health even in the future. You don't need to pay attention to contrary information that would discourage you to have an unwholesome life. Now you don’t necessarily have to try taking much fat and developing that sickness to actually know what works but you are well informed of the dangers and benefits as the case may be.

Let's consider an analogy. If as a child you are only allowed to take vitamins in liquid form or in minute quantity, you realize that because you are growing, you can't stop but would either increase the dosage or get a more potent one that would suit your metabolism as you grow older, just to keep up a healthy lifestyle.

Now, back to what could either build our purpose, character, and self-esteem in life or break us as a person. You need to consume the right resources, right information as it also extends to having the right company of friends and families to grow a positive and passionate character in future. When it finally consumes or overwhelms you, it surely would be for good. Don’t let anyone talk you down; it all starts with you, having the right mindset to become a woman of great character in any field of endeavour.

To this point, you probably may have spent all your time and years grooming and feeding that character to maturity and now anyone trying to stop you is either too late or probably enjoys the effects of taking the risks of stopping you. If you are on the right track, the stopper would be stopped by your passion. But it is proven that the good always wins over the bad. Hence, you surely would be stopped if your path is unhealthy, disparaging or unwholesome to firstly, yourself and to others around you.

I would request you to say after me here, a reaffirmation of your decision to live a healthy life; "I shall eat what I need and not what I want, to grow healthy in life"
