The Woman Who Has Everything knows what is important in life. She does not confuse "wants" with "needs".

She understands that what lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us.

She knows that you need to be informed as well as opinionated.

Passion for what you do is vital. If you do not have that, you will never be happy.

Your kids are supposed to have it better than you ever did. That is the reason you have them in the first place.

Those who do not understand history are doomed to repeat it. Know your history like the back of your hand. Grow the courage to change it even if it means growing it alone.

Material possessions mean nothing. When you are lying on your death bed, you are not thinking about your khaki's.

Your family is not necessarily whom you share chromosomes with.

Enjoy every single moment you are here on this earth, because the person who molded our souls is the reason why this Earth, this life, this existence is so beautiful.

Hunger. Burning hunger to never want to settle for the person you are, but the person you know you can become.

Stand by your convictions, even if that means standing alone.

Compliment beauty instead of chastising it out of jealousy.

Always remember how important it is to rely on the kindness of strangers. Remember not to burn any bridges unless you absolutely need to. You never know when you may look back and realize how desperately you needed it.

You are a child of the infallible God, which means that although you are fallible, you are no better or worse than anyone else. We are all equal because He and He alone is the one who decides who is meant to be on this Earth and who should be proverbially destroyed.

Be loyal to the people who are loyal to you. If they would not take a bullet for you, they are not worthy of your heart.

Your dignity and your integrity is not for sale. That is a deal breaker.

If anyone honestly expects an apology or an explanation as to why you are who you are, be sure to laugh in their faces.

Understand that if someone cannot handle you at your worst, they do not deserve you at your best.

Do not ever take yourself too seriously. Know the difference between striving for better and blind faith.

Blind faith absolutely cannot be practiced on the internet when you first meet someone. If they balk at proving themselves to you, then they are to be suspected.

While there are opinions and people you may be annoyed by or downright loathe, respect their opinions until they prove that they have absolutely no idea what they are talking about.

Rome was not built in a day, but it sure fell in one.

What does The Woman Who Has Everything need for Christmas? The same exact thing The Man Who Has Everything needs for Christmas. Absolutely nothing.

They already have everything they need. Now the rest of the country needs to make sure that they do as well.
