In this social fabric – of relationships and interpersonal experiences – we are all wired for a ‘mattering’ (introduced in Jennifer Breheny Wallce’s book) validation.
But most of us usually don’t empower ourselves with our own unique opinion and feel the social inspiration it creates for our people.
I think when we opine, we don’t cabine. We don’t feel we are not heard and acknowledged, as we are ourselves the most profoundly deep listeners.
I love the work Brene Brown is doing in enabling the wonders of vulnerability; helping us cultivate a culture of opening up and sharing our experiences for a more lived experience.
So when you are courageously owning up to who you are, the world can fit in!
There is this whirlpool of confidence; a galaxy of emotions and courage of being the human we deeply aspire to become; and the world find this gravitational pull of human agency and soulful traction!
Being courageously correct is a rather slow evolution but a certain one.
Your audience will find you once you choose to be yourself, gracefully.
Your every genuine gesture in shaping your story can make your audience sniff you from a distance, and will reach out to you to build a courageous community of evangelists, activists, researchers, and storytellers.
Let’s gather courage in a world that craves us to flex ourselves based on the situation. Let’s seek the truth of the conversation and let it fly all its way to make momentum of being ourselves.
It’s time you courageously reclaim a sense of self behind the imminent visibility and validation.
