Like snowflakes, the human pattern is never cast twice.
We are uncommonly and marvelously intricate
in thought and action.”
~Alice Childress
As I read this quote, I was struck by both how true it is, and by how so many people don’t live in a way where they are authentically bringing their uniqueness to the world.
Each of us has a life experience that no one else has had. We have passions, skills, talents, interests, and ways to
express them that are unique to us. We have our own unique way of communicating and of being in the world.
Yet so many people seem to be reluctant to step into their power in a big, bold way. They hold back, letting fear stop them from authentically expressing 100% of who they are. They have this nagging little voice telling them they’re not quite good enough, or asking them, “Who do you think you are?!”
If you’re one of them, I’ll say what Cher said to Nicholas Cage in Moonstruck, “Snap out of it!” (Watch it below)
No one else can bring what you do to the world. It’s up to you. If you hold back, the world loses what you have to offer. No one benefits from all you have experienced, all you have learned, and all you could share.
So here’s what I’d ask you to consider:
1. Where do I hold back? Where do I stop myself?
2. How would my life be different if I was willing to really be 100% authentic and true to myself, 100% of the time, and was willing to share my gifts with the world in a big way?
