Tap Into Your Power

Over the weekend, I watched the movie Boomerang, again. It’s a classic movie starring Eddie Murphy, Halle Berry, Robin Givens and so many other great actors and actresses. The movie first came out back in 1992. It’s about a ladies man, who meets his match, and gets a taste of his own medicine.The movie has many layers, but one of my key takeaways is, the power of a woman. As females, we have to tap into our power. We need to understand that we are the catch. The two main female characters in the movie are, Halle Berry and Robin Givens. They taught me so much about my feminine power. Robin Givens character was a successful, powerful, and beautiful woman. On the first date she had with Eddie Murphy's character, she wasn’t giving him all of her attention. She acted as if she was one of the homeboys. She knew exactly the kind of man she was dealing with, and she took control of what she wanted. Robin’s character also taught me not to be so available and to give a guys some space. I know you've seen the girl who is always free for a man. She typically loses herself and what she has going on because she’s so caught up in him. Don’t be that girl. Halle Berry's character was more softer, but just as stern, in her own way. She knew exactly what she was getting herself into, because she knew the kind of man he was. She became a friend to Eddie’s character before the romance. So many times in dating we skip the step of friendship and jump right into romance, but if you don’t have a friendship how will the relationship last? One of my favorite parts of the movie, was when Halle Berry’s character, took her power and left at Eddie's character. She left him, when she realized he couldn’t love her in the way she deserved. So many women hold on to dead situations, because of history, kids or stability. They sacrifice their own happiness, because they don’t think that they can find someone who loves them to their standards. That is not true, you are a queen. If the person you are with is not loving you the way you want to be loved, you have to do what’s best for you. It might not be easy, but it’s what needs to be done. Sometimes you have to leave to show a guy. If it’s meant to be it’ll come back. 

 A man will only do what you allow him to do. If you allow him to walk all over you, he will. As a female, you need to claim your respect. Stand your ground and know your worth. If you have Netflix, I would definitely suggest you watch the movie, Boomerang. Even if you watched it before, watch it again. It’s so many key takeaways about being a feminine woman. 90s actresses femininity was on another level. You are a queen, never forget that. Don’t let today’s society make you feel bad about what you want and expect in life or relationships. Never settle!
