The 2 Lessons You Can Apply To YOUR Relationships From The Royal Wedding of American Meghan Markle to Prince Harry

There are TWO lessons you can apply to YOUR relationships from the Royal Wedding of American Meghan Markle to Prince Harry.

#1 It’s About Fantasy

#2 She Is Making A Major Women’s Empowerment Statement Today

Let me explain how that applies to you…

We’ll deal with #1 first. Most of us grew up with Disney movies where the ultimate fantasy was the poor commoner girl (see Cinderella) or the poor commoner boy (see Aladdin) snags a Prince or Princess WAAAAY above their station in life. And, of course, this is reason for elation… if you buy into the perception that one partner is more worthy than the other. This is the EXACT stuff that is insidious and operates under the radar while women’s empowerment impels us forwards to valuing women and men as equal human beings, yet we are all aitter at any fairy tale involving a lowly person being chosen by a higher up person. Well, look, that’s a trope of low self esteem, low self worth. To Diseny’s credit, the ‘lowly’ person is often someone who DOES value themselves enough to have self respect and NOT treat their Prince or Princess like they are doing them a huge favor by even considering loving them.

At the heart of these fantasy relationships is our OWN feelings of low self-worth.

Think about it… if you got engaged to a Prince, would you excitedly tell your best girl friend? And what would your mindset be? And your girlfriend’s? Is it more likely you’d be wondering ’Why is he choosing you?’ or wondering how HE got SO lucky as to snag YOU?

Look, the FANTASY of a common girl snaring a Prince can bring up hidden self-worth issues with men.

Yeah yeah, I know, it’s not fun to hear that. I could just let you enjoy the glow of the Royl Wedding, but HONESTLY, I want YOU to have the love and relationship you really want and to help you GET it we have to get rid of anything that’s been blocking you. I don’t want you wistfully watching OTHER people getting married (and wedding season is a-comin’!) while wondering inside why no one is choosing you.

And THAT, my dear, is the OTHER problem with the Prince plucks a commoner out to marry fantasy — the powerlessness of needing to be CHOSEN.

You’ve experienced this feeling ANY time you have waited for a man to call or text you back. Any time you’ve wondered why a guy isn’t committing. ANY time you have felt LOW and waiting for HIM to take an action, make a choice, CHOOSE YOU.

Which is why #2 is SO damn important!!!! Listen up….

#2 Miss Meg Is Making A Major Women’s Empowerment Statement Today

Traditionally (meaning for a thousand plus years of patriarchy) women were seen as someTHING a man owned and had to provide everything for, so girls were treated as the Father’s property until a suitable man could ‘take her off his hands’ type of a thing. Many families even paid a dowry to get that daughter off the books on anot someone else’s books to have to pay for, protect, support and maintain. Real romantic, huh? Well, that’s PART of what’s beneath the seemingly beautiful gesture of a Father ‘giving away the bride’. Like, “Take her already, will ya!”. It’s seriously weird that we’ve normalized this to the point that it feels lovely. Why isn’t Mom involved in this process, for instance, if it’s about some parental love thing? Nope, it’s one man passes ownership to the next one.

And Meghan… oh, excuse me, PRINCESS Meghan is not having it.

She decided to walk into Westminster Abbey on her OWN… THEN Prince Charles will JOIN her as she walks down the aisle…. then (and play close attention becuase this REALLY matters)…

THEN….

She will let him go and walk ON HER OWN towards Harry and join him.

Not being GIVEN to him.

But walking to him, by choice, under her own power, as an empowered woman CHOOSING to join him.

99.9% of people watching may not realize how important this really is. In a time of #metoo, #timesup and stong, powerful women sick of attracting boys who can’t seem to show up as full respectful partners this woman is making a statement:

I AM ENOUGH and I AM POWERFUL ENOUGH TO MAKE MY OWN CHOICES.

Oh, by the way, she’s doing it at a Royal Wedding.

…with the WORLD watching.

Most people get nervous giving a completely NON-provocative business presentation in front of a dozen people. She is breaking tradition at the biggest globally watched wedding into a conservative family…. imagine how much courage and conviction that takes.

So, maybe you’re thinking, “Okay Barry, yes that’s great. And…? How does this affect me?”

Let me tell you… it affects you because we must END the culture of being “CHOSEN”, we must REALLY make a choice to choose OURSELF before any great partner will treat us as we deserve in this life.

This is a call to action for you to look at your relationship, your dating, the man you are with or the men you’ve been choosing and be honest with yourself….

Where have you been either in FANTASY and FEAR that he is better than you?

When do you fall into the trap of worthlessness thinking that makes you hope he CHOOSES you? Where do you place your happiness on the result of HIS decisions, actions or moods?

It’s time to stop waiting.

Stop pretending your man is a Prince if he doesn’t treat you like a Princess.

Stop waiting for your Prince to choose you.

It’s time to OWN your worth!

So TODAY, the day of this Royal Wedding, walk wityh your head a little higher.

Choose to treat YOURSELF as worthy.

You ARE worthy.

You are already Royalty.

Much Love,

Barry
