Are You Comfortable in Your Own Skin?
When you get right down to it, that’s all any of us want to be. Content with who we are, the choices we make, the path that we have chosen to walk, and OK with our imperfections, mistakes, and the lives that we are living.
Yet, many of us exist in a “transparency gap.” By this I mean we “show up” in the “real” world as someone who we know we are not, feeling that, for one reason or another, we need to suppress our most genuine selves.
Deep within us, many of us know that there is something. Something more!
And we yearn to find it, own it, and show it in our everyday lives.
We may have conceded our dreams, because of being told they are impossible, unrealistic, or that we are selfish. Although feeling the urge to take a new direction, we often find ourselves settling for a life that is familiar and comfortable, or one that others have come to expect from us.
So often, settling for this “sameness” leaves us feeling incomplete and unfulfilled.
That something is missing… something is just not right.
Over time..... this takes a toll... On you. On me. On society. And on those we love and want to be an example to.
Within each of us is a special gift, a voice, or a presence. It’s a yearning to be uniquely open, full force, and “up front” with the world.
The age at which we recognize this doesn’t matter. But that we do, does matter.
It’s the legacy we want to leave.
The sooner this occurs, the better.
But, better to have reached it late than to have left it as a part of us that will never be known.
Each of us are on a journey to what is our most complete and authentic selves.
I invite you to walk with me on this journey.
