Katy Perry Keeps Inspiring

I've mentioned my love and admiration for Katy Perry before, and she's at it again with some inspiration for us gals.

Do you ever feel like you've intimidated other people a little, whether it's a guy, a boss, or an acquaintance?  Katy Perry feels that way.  And here's what she does with it.

Katy is on the cover of the new Harper's Bazaar, and she says in the new issue, "A lot of times I've ended up with people who have been intimidated by me, unfortunately.  They say they're not, but it comes out in the long run. They're threatened, or there's resentment because they don't know how to handle it."

It's an odd thought, but does success hamper us gals in a way?   A friend told me once that she "dates down" because she intimidates guys on her level and they have trouble handling it.  She's a successful pediatrician.  The BFF in me tried to convince her to set her standards higher and date at or above her level, but she was having none of it.  She's doing what's comfortable for her.

Most guys might jump at the thought of getting with someone like Katy Perry, but after awhile that intimidation factor might take over and it might be hard to sustain the relationship.  She has a point.

Katy also says, "What I've learned is that if you don't have the foundation of self-love first, you really have nowhere to pull love from to give it away."  True enough.
