Escape and Release Your Gifts!
Posted by thecanvasgrey on June 8, 2009
Please don’t be so hard on yourself, others aren’t (at least people that really matter)!
Most of us struggle with self-consciousness issues. We can’t let that stop us!
I could name several people (who aren’t so nice) that are successful and put themselves out there all the time on TV and film. And then there are really nice people who give uplifting information and try to help (aka Oprah, if that end of the spectrum helps).
Those who know us know what we look like and still like or love us for the people we ARE!
Look at everyone around you that speaks well of you. bending over backwards to do so at times. There is a large positive ripple effect there, why not be the stone that causes the ripple.
If all anyone cared about was what a person looked like then yikes, we’d all be like Hollywood…ick…what a depressing world that would be. Picking each other apart instead of building each other up or working together.
Focus and capitalize on your strengths and forget about (what you perceive as) weaknesses…everyone wins that way! Why? You win and the people around you win because you share with them your gifts instead of coddling them in self-consciousness.
Sending love and good thoughts, Debi
