I subscribe to a newsletter - one of the few I actually read, primarily because it's only one short article long: Personal Development for You. The Springboard Consultancy's co-founder Liz writes these insightful, thought-provoking blog posts. The current one strikes a particular chord with me.
How about you?
The Illusion of Equality.
One specific reason why Liz's post caught my attention is that I heard on the news just this morning, another related fact. Apparently, when women retire, they will, on average, have 30,000 pounds less in their "pension pot" than a retired man.

Quote for Workshop Two
"At the core of our discomfort... lies the truth that we don't know ourselves very well. When we feel okay within ourselves, we are less impatient for answers. We can find our center and wait. We can tolerate mystery and maybe even revere it. It's just so different from how we've been trained and conditioned to live.
We continue to insist that the outside world reflect something at us that tells us who we are. Whether that comes in the form of success or failure is beside the point. To attempt a meaningful life is to embrace that which can be measured only within ourselves. The yardstick is not our life picture. It is rather how we feel about the person staring back at us in the mirror and we feel about life."
