I’m not here to preach about how women are capable of doing everything that men do, or that we can do it (whatever the ‘it’ may be) better. Our society does that enough. However, I am here to preach the fact that our generation of women is forgetting what it means to live life as a confident and strong lady. A strong willed woman doesn't try to prove something to everyone, but tries to prove to herself what she is capable of.
1. Cinderella lives life like a survivor, not a victim. 
father died when she was a young girl, the woman her father remarried is an
evil replacement for a mom, her two step sisters are insane, and to cap it all
off all three women treat her as their personal slave. Although Cinderella
knows her situation is far below sub par, she treats each day with the same go get ‘em attitude. She doesn’t sit in her tower moping, but instead gets up and gets moving. Her situation does not define her.
2. She is kind.
Despite her unfair lifestyle, Cinderella still manages to show kindness to not only her step mistress and step-sisters, but also to her mouse friends. She takes the time out of her already busy day to feed Jaq and Gus, and to see how they’re doing. No one makes her do this. She just simply chooses to do so.
3. Holds her Tongue
Her stepmother and sisters are mean women and Cinderella knows full well that they are. She employs extreme will power when it comes to ignoring their jabs at her. Quite frankly, Cinderella has every right in the world to snap at Anastasia to tell her how ugly her dresses and accessories are- but she doesn’t. By simply ignoring her sisters, she keeps her dignity in check, strengthens her manners, and handles conflict like a mature adult. Ultimately she is on her way to the high road by doing this. No cattiness for Cinderella.
4. Hard Working
The girl works from dawn until dusk everyday cleaning, cooking, tending to animals, and serving. But as one can see in the movie, she goes by a routine and doesn’t stray from it. She does what she is told and the house looks spotless everyday. Even though half the things she does sound and look horribly boring, painful, and unnecessary, she puts her all into whatever it may be.
5. Doesn't lose sight of herself.
Cinderella takes a lot of hits over the years, but never forgets to indulge on the things she holds dear to her heart. She enjoys singing, so she sings whenever she wants. She likes to dream of finding true love, so she lets herself dream of finding true love. Cinderella does what she wants in order to instill that she is not just a live in maid, but a young woman with so much more to offer.
