I am a mother of three, and my daughter is now 25 and starting her own family. The advice I gave her was, “Don't be a satellite to anyone else.” It means having your own life and being your own person with your own dreams, your own goals, and your own ambition. Live that goal and then you're more interesting, more self-confident, more self-assured. Choose to serve others, whether it's your family, your boyfriend, or whoever, but young women in particular need to see themselves as their own person in their own right with the same rights and entitlements as anybody else to happiness, to a career, and to choice in their life.
