Women know it

…men…hm… often pretend not to see, not to grasp.

Over the past few years, I've had the opportunity and fortune to meet several women who have achieved fulfillment; in some cases, I've even had the privilege of personally witnessing this process of personal fulfillment.

Women between the ages of 40 and 50, sometimes a little younger, sometimes a little older, who feel the desire for personal fulfillment.
Wives, often mothers, who at a certain point feel the need for change in their lives… a desire to commit to something exciting, vital, independent. Something of their own.

Sports, art, dance, travel, culture, volunteering.
But above all, work. Few things can be more exciting than professional fulfillment.
Here are courageous women who have had the strength to leave their "doghouse" of stable and planned lives to throw themselves into new, exciting adventures precisely because they are linked to their passions, which they transform into activities.
The wonderful thing is that they always succeed! Strong and stubborn, tireless.

The biggest obstacle? In most cases, the man standing next to them.
At an age when most men tend to "sit down," women today are blossoming. They're changing. They're evolving.

There are men who encourage their lifelong companions in this process of fulfillment: grateful for them for always having gone out of their way for the house, for the children, for the family... they find it natural to follow them in their change by changing in turn.
They contribute by offering their time, starting or learning to manage things they've never done before, saying "Don't worry, I'll take care of it today..."“

Unfortunately, in most of the cases I've encountered, it didn't go like this...

“You're not the same anymore, I don't recognize you anymore”
“What have you got in your head?”
“But where do you want to go, you'll never make it”

Destroy rather than try to understand.
Demolish rather than build something new that can be stimulating for both.
Inability to communicate to achieve balance.
Fear of change. Fear of appearing "weak" in giving us space. Fear of losing some of that space. Fear that she'll discover she can do it alone and leave us.

News: Women always make it on their own. Even those who don't believe it while they're doing it.

Let's be careful, little men. When a woman embarks on the path of fulfillment, she doesn't stop.
If we are unable to follow them, if we don't want to understand this need, if we try to stop them, if we are unable to love this new version of them... there will be someone who perhaps never knew the old version but will find the woman we no longer recognize absolutely wonderful.
