I was meditating and I began to think , about the type of woman 
that I could be.I went off into another world, a world of my own, 
and this is what I saw. I saw a beautiful woman standing in front 
of an auditorium speaking to an audience of men and women of 
all ages. As she spoke the crowd seemed more and more inspired 
by what she was saying and what she had done. As this lady spoke, 
everyone in the audience seemed like they could relate to her; and 
somehow they, through some experience, connected with her in 
one way or another.
____________________________________________________________________
From the way she spoke, one could tell that she must be a very
independent and hardworking person. She really cared about 
what she was doing and the people that sheinfluenced. Caring 
about people comes from the heart and soul, and no one can 
fake that. She spoke of a rough childhood, but she didn't let 
obstacles get in her way. Sometimes she even spoke of God:
she said that everything she had accomplished, God was by
her side in everyway possible. When she was feeling 
discouraged, all she had to do was call on God and ask 
him for help and he responded.
___________________________________________________________________
She said that one of the most difficult things to 
master in life is patience; it is truly a virtue. 
With patience anything can be acommplished. 
She seemed very confident in what she spoke
of and who she was. She represented herself very
well. She seemed very ambitious and excited about
what she was doing. The way she spoke you just couldn't 
criticize. She made the audience feel that they could 
accomplish anything in this world, as long as they 
believed that they could. Then suddenly the door bell 
rang and I woke up realizing that the woman that 
I envisioned was the type of woman that I would like 
to be one day; and furthermore, that it is up to all of us
to create or become the woman we want to be.
