The Best and Most Motivational Books for Women Part 1

The Best and Most Motivational Books for Women Part 1

In a world that is rife with supposedly successful people flexing and showing off all day long online how much better they are than you because whatever reason they might personally come up with (hint: most have to do with how much money they supposedly have), is a little difficult to maintain motivation, especially if you don’t have the social advantages many of them surely possess.

This is especially true for women that spend time on social media sites scrolling through the so amazingly successful achievement of others: The girl with the perfect body, the one which landed a rich husband despite her dubious reputation, the heiress whose only work ever has been painting her nails which she started outsourcing at fifteen years old, etc. the list is endless.

Instead of endlessly going down a path of self-depreciation by doing that, you better find yourself a healthy dose of motivation that can carry you to achieve what many out there just pretend to have. Women who read these motivational books written can develop proper motivation far from the toxicity of social media that will allow them to focus on their own very real success.

#4 Searching for God in the Garbage by Bracha Goetz

It breaks my heart to have so many aspiring young feminists who have just begun their journey in learning about equality being ruthlessly mocked by bad actors, antisocial trolls online, and uninformed citizens that regurgitate exaggerated talking points meant to demonize us.

The hostility directed at young feminists online can lead them stray into some fringe, corrupted mock form of feminism. To them, I rather recommend they get offline and read the following books written with young feminists in mind. These books serve as a safe source of knowledge about what feminism is truly about.

Foul Designated Survivor

We have been waiting impatiently for the new Designated Survivor, but was HIGHLY disappointed with the content and the FOUL language. Every other word is profanity (F bomb, GD, event Penny says Sh-tty and is not reprimanded other than her mom would have washed her mouth out with soap.) The worst is the graphic sodomy homosexual act between the two black men(?). To see two men kissing is disgusting, but to see them pounding each other has stuck in my brain so that I have to constantly pray it away. Keifer, I thought you had better taste. You don’t have to show sex, only imply. You can have a conversation without cursing. When you have to put profanity in a conversation shows the lack of intellect of both parties – one who is saying it and the other who is accepting it. I voted not to watch the show anymore. Clean it up and let the public know you have and I may tune back in.

#18 Searching for God in the Garbage by Bracha Goetz

If you are a woman who wants to have the rest of your life filled with deep and lasting pleasure, experience the consciousness-raising and very candid memoir, Searching for God in the Garbage. It’s about a Harvard-grad female in her twenties and early thirties searching for and finally finding meaning and great joy in life.

The almost-thirty girls can relate to these pages.

Twenty-nine-year-old, commonly known in the women world as ‘Almost thirty’, is the dreaded age where women begin to double their race against the clock to finally land the promised life where you have it all, or so they say.

Conventional wisdom has us believe 29-year-old women are one step away from a catastrophic event where they’ll lose all of their attractiveness, making them ‘invisible’ in the eyes of their potential suitors.

Nonsense, as we all know, age is but a number and there’s little it can do to diminish who we are as people. Forget about the naysayers and treat yourself by reading these books written for 29-year-old women that reminds us clearly of the power we hold.

ARLINGTON CEMETERY

ARLINGTON CEMETERY

Question: On Jeopardy the other night, the final question was “How many steps does the guard take during his walk across the tomb of the Unknowns?” All three contestants missed it!
This is really an awesome sight to watch if you’ve never had the chance. Fascinating. Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

1. How many steps does the guard take during his walk across the tomb of the Unknowns and why?  21 steps: It alludes to the twenty-one-gun salute which is the highest honor given any military or foreign dignitary.

2. How long does he hesitate after his about face to begin his return walk and why? 21 seconds for the same reason as answer number 1.

3. Why are his gloves wet? His gloves are moistened to prevent his losing his
grip on the rifle.

4. Does he carry his rifle on the same shoulder all the time and, if not, why not? He carries the rifle on the shoulder away from the tomb. After his march across the path, he executes an about face and moves the rifle to the outside shoulder.

5. How often are the guards changed? Guards are changed every thirty minutes,
twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year.

6.
What are the physical traits of the guard limited to? For a person to apply for guard duty at the tomb, he must be between 5′ 10′ and 6′ 2′ tall and his waist size cannot exceed 30. They must commit 2 years of life to guard the tomb, live in a barracks under the tomb, and cannot drink any alcohol on or off duty for the rest of their lives. They cannot swear in public for the rest of their lives and cannot disgrace the uniform or the tomb in any way. After two years, the guard is given a wreath pin that is worn on their lapel signifying they served as guard of the tomb. There are only 400 presently worn. The guard must obey these rules for the rest of their lives or give up the wreath pin. The shoes are specially made with very thick soles to keep the heat and cold from their feet. There are metal heel plates that extend to the top of the shoe in order to make the loud click as they come to a halt. There are no wrinkles, folds or lint on the uniform. Guards dress for duty in front of a full-length mirror. The first six months of duty a guard cannot talk to anyone nor watch TV. All off duty time is spent studying the 175 notable people laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery. A guard must memorize who they are and where
they are interred. Among the notables are:

President Taft,
Joe Lewis {the boxer}
Medal of Honor winner Audie L. Murphy, the most decorated soldier of WWII and of Hollywood fame.

Every guard spends five hours a day getting his uniforms ready for guard duty.

ETERNAL REST GRANT THEM O LORD AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM.

In 2003 as Hurricane Isabelle was approaching Washington, DC, our US Senate/House took 2 days off with anticipation of the storm. On the ABC evening news, it was reported that because of the dangers from the hurricane, the military members assigned the duty of guarding the Tomb
of the Unknown Soldier were given permission to suspend the assignment. They respectfully declined the offer, “No way, Sir!” Soaked to the skin, marching in the pelting rain of a tropical storm, they said that guarding the Tomb was not just an assignment, it was the highest honor that can be afforded to a service person. The tomb has been patrolled continuously, 24/7, since 1930.

God bless them all!
