I’m not sure when being called a “diva” turned from a compliment to an insult, but I think it’s something that we need to change. The official definition of a diva is "a famous and successful woman who is very attractive and fashionable." HELLO WOMEN. Do not cringe or shy away from the term “diva." If you are a diva, then you are doing something right with your life. You are intimidating and fabulous and hard-working. Good for you for working as hard as you did to receive the title of a diva. That takes hard work to receive that kind of respect. I commend you on your diva attitude.
A diva is a woman who focuses on herself and her future rather than living in the past. As a diva, you won’t deal with drama. You will deal with business and pinpoint your focus on objects of importance. Walk into a room like you own the place; make your confidence shine. Hold yourself to a standard that commands attention when you walk into a room.
We live in a world where confidence and loving yourself isn’t as prevalent as it once was. Our world and society tries to fill our minds with impossible standards we need to reach and, odds are, we will never reach the standards forced upon us. In this kind of world, it is hard to look at yourself in the mirror and love yourself, but you need to work towards a goal that will make you believe in yourself. That is the key to becoming a strong, independent diva.
Divas deal with haters and people who want to tear them down constantly. That’s hard, having so many people just hoping you’ll one day fall from your pedestal and fail -- to have so many people rooting for your failure rather than rooting for your successes. It just comes with the territory because being a diva means that you have so much of your life figured out to the point where people are jealous. Jealousy really does bring out the worst in people. But, as a diva, you’ll have also built up so much strength in yourself that these people trying to tear you down won’t even matter. Their comments and attempts to ruin you will fail miserably and they won’t like the fact that their opinion truly does not matter to you. Be unapologetically fierce as you prove all these naysayers wrong.
The world is a scary place, but it can be easier with just a little faith in yourself. Don’t put your faith in pixie dust and wishes on stars. Put your faith in yourself. Put your faith in your hard work. Put faith in your dreams. Be a diva. Work hard. Command the attention of a room. And most of all, never apologize for your confidence. In a society full of girls who don’t know how to love themselves anymore, be the girl to show them that its okay to rule the world one stiletto step at a time.
