Are you willing to be vulnerable? It’s scary, right?
You think:
What if they don’t like it?
What if they don’t like me?
What if the whole thing blows up?
What if I blow the whole thing up?
What if no one shows up?
So. much. pressure.
People struggle to show up as themselves.
Think about the people you follow online. What are you drawn to about them? Can you relate to their messy lives? If your friend showed up for coffee with messy hair, would you send them away? What if they showed up as the hot mess they really are? Of- course, you would say, “Hey, Friend, come on in. How are you? What’s going on? How’s life? Talk to me!”
It’s the fact that we show up FOR THEM that matters. We all have things we’re working on.
And when you do show up as your authentic self, some people will like you, and some people won’t, and that’s OK. This is part of the beauty of being human!
If they don’t like you, then they are not your people. Thank Goodness, not everyone is for everyone! Right?! How boring would life be if that was the case?
So, show up.
Be there for your people.
Someone out there needs you.
