I was all set to discuss makeup with you all today, when a friend shared this amazing article with me from NYMag, discussing the "Shine Theory". After reading it, I knew it would be a disservice to my readers and fellow woman if I didn't do my part to share the key points of this theory with others.
So what's the "Shine Theory"?:
When you meet a woman who is intimidatingly witty, stylish, beautiful, and accomplished; instead of immediately hating her and tearing her apart in your mind befriend her.
Here's a few reasons why this theory totally works (and why you should immediately adopt it into your own life):
- The Associative property of awesomeness: People know you by the company you keep.
We've all heard the saying that birds of a feather flock together, if you want to improve something about yourself, a great way to do so is by friending woman who are already doing/ have knowledge about that area. Take for example celebrity friends Beyonce and Kelly Rowland. Kelly Rowland's association with megastar Beyonce doesn't make her any less of an artist, on the contrary it actually makes her shine more.
- True confidence is infectious.
Positivity attracts positivity. Rather then feeling an internal competition with other woman, see them as fellow cohorts and congratulate them on their accomplishments. By being happy for others it allows others to be happy for you.
