Okay, so today I wanted to mess around with this idea of “la equidad vs. fortaleza” – equity versus strength, basically. It’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately, especially with everything going on in the world.
I started by just, you know, thinking. Seriously, just sitting and pondering. What does equity really mean? What does strength really mean? Are they opposites? Are they connected? I grabbed a notebook and started jotting down some random thoughts.
Brainstorm Session
- Equity: Fairness, justice, equal opportunity…
- Strength: Power, resilience, ability to overcome…
- Are they mutually exclusive? NO! jotting down the answe quicly.
Then I decided to look at some real-world examples. I thought about things like sports – you know, how some teams have way more resources than others. Is that equitable? Does it mean the team with fewer resources is “weaker”? Not necessarily, right? They might have more grit, more determination.
I spent a good hour just surfing the web, reading articles, and watching some videos. I even dug into some academic stuff, which was kind of dry, but it gave me some different perspectives.
After that, I tried to apply it to my own life. I’m a small-time blogger, right? There are tons of huge, mega-successful bloggers out there. They have more resources, more reach, more everything. Does that mean I’m “weaker”? Maybe in some ways. But I realized I have my own strengths – my unique voice, my personal experiences, my connection with my readers.
So, I started experimenting. I focused on what I could control. I worked on improving my writing, connecting with my audience, and sharing my authentic self. I stopped comparing myself to those mega-bloggers and started celebrating my own small wins.
And you know what? It’s been working! Slowly but surely, I’m building my own little corner of the internet. I’m not trying to be the biggest or the strongest. I’m just trying to be the best me I can be. And that, I think, is where real equity and real strength come together. It’s not about having the same resources; it’s about using what you do have to the best of your ability.
It’s a journey, for sure. I’m still figuring things out, still learning, still growing. But this little experiment has definitely given me a new perspective on equity and strength. It’s not an either/or thing. It’s about finding the balance, embracing your own unique power, and creating your own path.
