How To Be A Lady That Everyone Will Admire

I think deep inside every lady is the want of being admired. She wants to be admired by her family, her friends, her spouse, her children and anyone else whose life she feels she may impact. Every woman is looking for respect and admiration, whether they do it in a way that is respectful or not. We all want it. We all long for it. Desiring to be a lady who is admired isn't a bad thing. It's about being respected by those around you and yet always being seen as a lady. When I think of women I admire I think of women such as Michelle Obama, Princess Diana, and other successful women who have reached their status the right way, through hard work and respect. There are women who seek to be admired for other things, but if you want to be a true lady who is admired for who she is at the core, then here are the top ways you can be admired for being a true lady.

If there is one thing that people respect and admire about a lady, is when she shows that she can be strong and independent. She may have a man, but she doesn't need her man. She can stand on her own two feet. She is a lady who is sophisticated, hard-working, and doesn't take anything from anyone. She's a lady who calls her own shots. A true lady can do this in a way that doesn't make her come off as being a bitch. She is respected for the way she handles her business both personally and professionally. She treats others with respect so when she does put her foot down it is received well and the respect is shown back to her. A strong independent lady is truly admired by all. She is admired by other women, her spouse, her friends, and her family. This is a lady who will always work hard and will never stop pushing for what she wants.

I've always admired a lady who can treat others with respect. She doesn't judge others for their beliefs, for their status, or for what they can and cannot control. A real lady appreciates the differences we all share and treats others with respect accordingly. This is a characteristic that makes a true lady stand out. She will speak up when she doesn't feel that someone is being treated well. She will speak up when others aren't respected. Not many things will make a lady lose her temper, but the mistreatment or disrespect of another person is one of those things. A lady who treats others with respect will always be admired because she is not looking for a reason to gossip and point fingers. She isn't looking to be the talk of the town, but treats others the way she expects to be treated. This will bode well for a lady who is looking to be admired by her peers, especially.

A lady who is seeking to be admired has good manners. She is well kept and she carries herself properly. A lady who is admired by many speaks with grace and isn't abrupt. She carries herself well and is sophisticated in the way she presents herself, how she speaks, and how she treats others. This is not to say that she is walked on. She will not stand for being mistreated. A lady who respects herself and is admired by others will have manners, but won't allow those manners to allow her to be walked all over by other people. Don't forget, she is strong and independent as well. A great picture of a lady with great manners, yet who is also strong and independent, are both the English and Southern ladies. These are ladies you can always find put together, treat others kindly, but they won't take being miss treated by anyone lightly.

To be a lady who is admired by all, you must be hard working. Yes, we discussed this above while talking about the strong and independent lady. However, I believe that being a hard working lady needs its own description because it is equally important. Ladies who I admire set goals and go after them. They aren't going to give up easily. A lady who is hard working earns the respect she deserves, and it's not by how she speaks but is based on her actions. A lady who is admired for her hard work lets her actions speak louder than her words. She hustles and she goes after what she wants. Let's be honest, it's hard not to respect and admire a lady who is hard working, who goes after what she wants, and who knows that her hard work will pay off. She grinds it out and digs deep when the time calls for it. She has grit, she's tenacious, and she doesn't make excuses.

There is something to be admired about a lady who has a sophisticated sense of style. I admire a lady who can carry herself well and presents who she is by the way she dresses. She is confident, collected, and sophisticated. A Southern lady does this so well. Southern women are typically raised to consider how they present themselves to the public. Now, I am not a lady who has to wear a dress everywhere I go, however, I make sure to be put together and take pride in how I look and how I present myself. I believe that your environment, what is seen to be acceptable in your community, and where you live will take part in what is seen to be as either too much or too little. A Southern lady, as well as an English lady, is always well put together and provides a sophisticated picture of who she is when she goes out. However, if you were to go out on a Tuesday in my town in your Sunday dress to the grocery store, people may not admire you but wonder who you think you are. On the other hand, if you are in England and you go to afternoon tea, you are expected to look a certain way. A true lady who is admired by many will take things into account.

One lady I have always admired is Princess Diana. She showed her grace in so many ways, but the way she cared for others put her on another level. To care for people no matter their age, their color, their ability - or lack thereof, or their status made me respect and admire her like no other. She always made it a point to give others the attention she thought they deserved. She made others her priority. A lady who truly deserves to be admired will always care for others. She puts others before herself. She puts the needs of many before the needs of herself. A lady who is admired won't ever be bothered by helping someone in need. To be a true lady, such as Princess Diana, she will always look for who she can serve, not who can serve her. I think this is even more important in today's society. The focus is so often on ourselves or on money, and I think that those who can shift that focus back to serving others and being kind to others deserve to be admired. The standard was set by the Princess and I hope that we can bring back a time where a true lady is focused on caring for those around her and not just on the amount of money in her wallet.

A lady who is smart is going to be admired by many. If you are a lady seeking the admiration of your spouse, show off your intellect. They may be attracted to you physically, but once you show them your intellect and smarts they will admire you forever. A lady who shows her intelligence by holding her own in a room full of her peers shows that she deserves to be admired. Can she go toe to toe with her male counterpart? Absolutely. She is confident in what she knows and isn't afraid to show it off when necessary! A lady who is admired by others for her smarts and intelligence isn't going to flaunt it. She doesn't have to unless it's absolutely necessary. She doesn't have to remind everyone of how smart she is because she is consistently proving it through her work, her actions, and the way she speaks. Her intelligence isn't challenged often, but when it is you better watch out.

A lady who is worth admiring is so confident in herself and who she is that she makes it a point to go out and support others, especially those she loves. She doesn't need to be in the spotlight but loves to watch those that she loves excel in it. A lady who is going to be admired isn't looking for recognition but will be there to give it to others. She puts going to the concerts, the ball games, the plays and the recitals before anything else. Being supportive of her people and those that support her is very important. She is a lady who will always make time for others and won't complain about it. The lady who will be admired makes it her priority to be supportive of those she cares for in any and all ways. This is the lady that is first to compliment her co-worker on the promotion. She isn't upset that she didn't get it, but she is supportive of the one who did. The lady who many admire will always be supportive of those around her, thus they are supportive of her. She doesn't have to seek it out because many are drawn to her and the way she gives so much support and love to those she's around daily.

We all have that lady or ladies we think of when we think of someone we admire. As I said before, those ladies for me are Princess Diana and Michelle Obama. Both of these ladies provide me with the example I hope to be to others. If I can be admired one day even an ounce as much as I admire them, then I know I did well. Being a lady who is admired is something we strive for, but unless you have a picture of what that lady looks like you may not know what to aim for. After reading through this article, who comes to your mind? Who's that one lady you admire? Once you find her, I believe you will have a picture of the lady you want to be. We all have it in us, we just have to earn it.
