As I wrote this blog, a male friend of mine who happened to be around asked me; “what is beauty?”
Wow, what a nice question! I thought.
Hmm, I see beauty as a genuine heart, a heart that loves and cares for humanity. Wikipedia described Beauty as; the quality of being pleasing, especially to look at, someone or something that gives great pleasure, especially when looking at it. Looking at the above definition of beauty, I thought to myself, wait a second.... beauty is the definition of a QUEEN
To be a queen you have no other choice but to be a carrier of beauty. You would be looked at as beautiful if you posses some vital qualities which include having a genuine heart that show love and care to people. These qualities give pleasure to those who look at you
.
Obviously from my writing, you would discern that I am not seeing beauty as a matter of the exterior, but rather as a matter of the heart.
Bees, as social insects have the queen as their head. She is responsible for reproduction of young ones. She will have to go on nuptial flight with numerous drones (a class of bees who are responsible for fighting among themselves to mate the queen). The lucky drone who will win the battle will have the chance to mate with the queen to produce young ones. The interesting thing is that, this particular drone will die after it mates with the queen. This is because the queen extracts its male genital. The drones knowing what will befall them after mating with the queen still go ahead and mate with her. Possibly, they pride that at least they produced a generation before death.
Now, that is the reality of how the queen is important even in the insect kingdom!!!
We all know that in the game of chess, the queen is the only entity that can move in any direction. Making it the most important! I bet you that a good win in the game of chess win be as a result of a well-used queen.
The significance of a queen cannot be overemphasized!!!
A queen understands her position as a place of power. A woman of dignity. The queen is the best of women. In a kingdom, if the king is to choose his queen he would literally go for the very best. Exactly!!! The Very best!!!
A queen is confident!!! Confidence places you higher. A queen has got a will power!!!An attitude that says; “I can do anything”. The will power to say; “I am not subjected to be looking around for someone to love me. I love me and as a result love others. She has got the will power to believe that God created her for something special. She has got the will power to believe that she is the mother of nations.
Confidence is a substance of the mind. It starts in the mind. It is all about believing in you. It’s a quality that ends up growing. It doesn’t happen at once. In all areas of your life as a lady, you start up with a confidence and grow in it. Because there are so many things you still have to battle with. Confidence is more like having faith and believing that I can do the things I set out to do. It doesn’t mean that there won’t be challenges, but rather seeing beyond those challenges and fears and focusing in the positive. Then it gets to the point when you are sure of it. Confidence can also be seen in the light of passing across what you actually know in a polite manner.
I read an article, a professor entered a class, told his students that there is a test. The students sat glued to their seats as the sheets laid in front of them. “Start work”, the professor alarmed. Sheet were turned and all the student could see was a black dot. They were all confounded. Then the Prof. told them, “write what you see”. All confused decided to write about the black dot meanwhile there was a big white sheet of paper in front of them. Only 2% few wrote about the white sheet.
A queen doesn’t take a dim view about life. There is white sheet of paper that is being positive in which you can take to make your life better, Rather than a black dot which might be a setback. “Perfection is not a state you have gotten to, but the process of striving”
A queen is an automatic role model. She is a source of inspiration to her people, others will want to follow her ways.
A queen beliefs in herself (what she can create). I watched a presenter interview Michelle Obama. The presenter asked the first lady if she would have been the First Lady of America if she hadn’t found herself with Barack Obama. The First Lady gave a profound answer saying she believed she could make any man The President. This is a perfect example of a woman who understand her position as a queen.
A lady cannot exercise that power except she put herself in that position of a Queen.
