Women are essential to the growth of the
world in every aspect. We are the core of
the world’s existence because we have the
power to birth life. That is why women are
advised to learn and do things that
empower them especially when they are
still very young. These are some of the
things every girl must do when she is still
young and full of life or at least, before
she turns 25:
1. FALL IN LOVE WITH YOURSELF:
the essence of love in our lives can never
be emphasized enough. Love makes our lives
beautiful. It is what brings colour and fun
to our grey world. Without love, we will
only exist without actually living. Love is
what makes us live, hopeful that tomorrow
will be better. But no one can give out what
they do not have. Love has to start with you
and not the experimental kind that comes
and goes. You have to actually fall in love
with yourself. When you love yourself, it
becomes easy to nurture your body, mind
and soul. You find it easy taking
corrections without getting angry and
changing yourself for the better without
being told. Appreciate who you are and
watch your confidence grow. If you don’t
love yourself, nobody else will.
2. DISCOVER WHAT YOU ARE GREAT
AT: we all are good at doing more than one
thing but there is something that sets us
apart from everybody and that is our
passion; the things we can do excellently
with little or no effort. For some people, it
may be writing, cooking, dancing, driving,
swimming or even thinking constructively.
So many people have turned their passions
into their source of income; they are
fulfilled financially and are always happy
making money off what they enjoy doing
the most. You can do the same too, it begins
with discovering that thing you are
naturally great at.
3. LEARN SOMETHING NEW,
EVERYDAY: learning is one of the keys to
being extraordinary at what you do. With
the advancement of technology, it is so easy
to get materials that can help you build a
better “you”. All you need is an internet
compatible mobile and you can download as
much books, journals, articles etc. as you
want. You can also enrol for classes that
will help you become better with your
chosen vocation. A girl has more time on
her hands when she is still her late teens or
early twenties, use that time for self
grooming and improvement. Learning, like
change, should be a constant factor in our
lives. Do not just learn, apply them too.
4. MAKE PLANS: a wise person once said
“he who fails to plan, plans to fail”. After
the age of 25, so many things are expected
of you. People expect you to get married,
have a good job, have kids and build a
home. Once you don’t make plans for what
you want in 5 years or 10, you may end up
living your life according to other people’s
plans for you. Put it into writing before
you turn 25, your goals and aspirations, so
that you will always remember and work
towards it. Although, spontaneity can also
be a very good thing.
5. MAKE AN INVESTMENT: do not let
anyone tell you that you are too young to
do something as great as making an
investment. It could be renting your
apartment, buying a car, buying a laptop;
something that will make you smile when
you look at it. Buy an expensive jewelry,
dress, handbag, sunglasses also. These
things make you feel proud of yourself;
something to boast about.
6. BE FINANCIALLY DISCIPLINED: it
is good to invest but it is good to learn how
to manage your finances. Spoil yourself as
much as you can but learn how to save.
Learn to put away little amount of money;
daily, weekly, monthly, as often as you can
for rainy days. Saving up makes you
responsible and accountable.
7. FULFIL ONE OR MORE OF YOUR
FANTASIES: you are young, you are
allowed to live a little bit recklessly but
not too reckless. Write down the list of
those fairy tale dreams and work on them.
It could be traveling to another country on
vacation, partying all weekend long and
getting stupidly drunk. Be adventurous,
have something interesting to share with
your kids.
8. HAVE APPROPRIATE WARDROBE:
as you grow older, you should consider
wearing age appropriate clothes. Ditch the
baby wears and go for something really
mature, that will bring out the lady in you.
Invest in good quality makeup and
underwear.
9. THROW A PARTY: what is life
without a little bit of fun. Throw a party
for yourself and invite your friends, even
from secondary school. It doesn’t even have
to be your birthday. A reunion is enough
reason to have all your friends together
under one roof. Parties are great ways of
keeping up with old friends and making new
ones.
10. LEARN HOW TO TAKE CARE OF A
HOME: many girls are so concerned about
being better career women, beautiful and
presentable. But not so many actually learn
how to be homemakers. Every woman will
be taken to a house after her marriage but
not all can the house into a home. Learn how
to be a better mother to your kids, a
better wife to your husband. If you can’t
cook, learn. Also take your time to study
other basic things that will make your home
