Let her independence win over her insecurities

Today is women's day. It is being celebrated everywhere. I personally don't believe in celebration but I want to take this opportunity to express my thoughts regarding one issue.
Recently I have been interacting with many people because of my work and other reasons. I always make it a point to observe people and learn from them.
Few women I met were forced because of unavoidable circumstances to be financially independent. The need of the time taught them to be on their own, but the change I saw in them after this was remarkable. The transformation was really commendable.
I also met some women, who were balancing their career with their family life. They made some compromises in their career but still managed to be independent. Their efforts were an example for me..
On the other hand, I met few women in the same age group, trying to create an identity. The circumstances were favorable but their insecurities were speaking louder than their confidence.
Then the question came to my mind, what does independence really mean for a women? Is it doing everything on their own?
I am financially independent since I was 22 years old. Then I asked myself what drives me to work harder and remain financially independent for nearly 10 years after I first started working. Is it really money? The answer was different...
I had made plans for spending my first salary and I was really excited about it. I never wanted to miss this joy and excitement. I had bought small gifts for all my family members and friends. That joy was worth experiencing. I was confident after I started working that I am capable of helping anyone financially on my own. This confidence was a result of my independence. I would have never achieved it otherwise. I have always believed that one should create memories and experience everything to have an enriching life. My financial independence gave me an opportunity to experience these joys and moments. And I'm grateful for all these. I was able to keep my insecurities aside and enjoy my  independence. I was able to win over my insecurities with my independence.
I again thought of the women I met who were trying hard to deal with their insecurities. And just realised immediately that if supported and encouraged they will be able to easily win over their insecurities. If encouraged by the people around they will be definitely able to create these moments of joy and confidence for themselves. So would you encourage women around you to be independent and win over their insecurities?
