Thank you for this piece. So glad you've pulled off the big reveal! Now that I'm almost 70, I give less of a shit about being liked and more of a shit about being human. And I'm more compassionate and content for doing this.
Wonderful, thought-provoking advice. That part at the end, about being honest about who you are, speaks to one of my biggest fears about my relationships. Thank you.
You are welcome and thank you for reading and commenting! I think fears about our existing relationships is one of THE biggest things that holds us back from most things. If you feel comfortable sharing, I'm interested in what is one area where you feel like you've been hiding your true self?
I love this so much! Yes! Success is such a strange metric, I think. Cos what is it even? I used to think "success" was what happened at my job or the job I had. Now I think success is in my relationships with people in myself.
I'm so appreciative of your comment! Yes, I've also realized that the reason I felt empty all the time was because all the things I had previously achieved were the things other people said would make me successful. It wasn't until I learned how to define what makes me feel fulfilled that I was able to give those things to myself.
This right here 👉 Feeling unworthy comes from you stifling your power. 💯 spot on!
I'm glad this resonated with you. Thanks!
