Why do we sell ourselves short? Yes you too, Ms. Diva!

Sisters, why do we accept less than we deserve? On Friday night we sit around with our girl friends sipping apple martinis and create a complicated list of items we want our men to possess, we complain that we want our jobs to afford us, our families to support us, and our aspirations to allow us all of it. Then Monday comes and we ask ourselves; Why didn't he call? Why did I do what I did on Saturday night and why with him? Why have I been busting my butt at this job only to receive the mimium praise and that smirk from my employer that says, "hey you should be happy you have this job." Why have I waited for an engagement ring for 5 years now, Why did I let them tell me, "now is not the time" when I wanted to go back to law school, even though I always wanted to be a lawyer? Why am I not finacially or even physically where I want to be at thirty blank? Why, Why, Why? Maybe it is because we don't really know what we want but please tell me that it's not because we don't know what we deserve.
