No Longer "JUST"

How often we describe ourseleves starting with "JUST"...just a housewife, just a teacher, just a mother, just a student...
What does this "just" denote? Low Self Esteem, Low Confidence, not enough love for one's own self.....
So the need is to get out of the "just"
A new mantra - Can do without the "just"

You are right - too many people describe themselves this way.

The point is that nothing is really above another. Being a mother is tough, being a housewife is tough, being a manager is tough...it's just that different roles require different skill sets most of the time.

I think it's a case of people expecting more from us (and sometimes we ourselves expecting more from life) that makes us feel like a 'just'.

My funda is that there is no point getting depressed uselessly. Enough in life to pull you down without yourself pitching in whole heartedly.
