It’s so radical to be authentic
these days that it has an enigma all of its own.
It’s very powerful to be visible with your vulnerabilities, it shakes people up in the places where they are too scared to be so visible.
Listen to their judgements.
They give you the map of exactly
where those folks are stuck.
Feel your reactions in your body,
it’s the map of where you believe them.
It is powerful and disruptive to be generous and to not run your life and business with the usual scarcity-addicted model, but to be inclusive and open handed, that takes courage, cultivates trust and is progressive.
Notice
how hard some find it to receive your generosity, how uncomfortable receiving
can be for them even when the gift is freely given.
Notice who warns you to be less
giving.
It is powerful to show your
neediness some days, to show your unreasonable anger, your inappropriateness…
… it takes courage to be so visible
and risk the approval vanishing.
It is revolutionary to wear no
masks, no hats and be the same ‘you’ in business as at home.
Why do we exhaust ourselves wearing
masks for people who need us to be other than our real selves?
I recommend removing the masks and
seeing who stays.
The ones that do really get you and
are the ones you want to hang out with and work with.
Authentic people are enigmatic
because most people are so comfortable in their hiding, conforming,
disempowered state that someone brave enough to be simply real is fascinating.
Where have you been hiding?
What mask is it time to take off?
No more masks! Too many faces in one when we wear masks! Bring em together... Wear You! :)
