Embrace Your Uniqueness

Why are you trying so hard to fit in, when you were born to stand out?"- Ian Wallace

This was a really powerful reminder for me recently. I have spent a lot of my life sharing pieces of myself with all the different people I have encountered. Thinking that if I only share this part of myself with this person, because that's what they like and then they will like me too. And so it went, each new person got this part or that part, some more than others.

In my mind (notice I said mind and not heart) I used to believe that if I only shared parts of myself; it was safer for me and it was not so overwhelming for everyone else. I believed my business contacts and associates only needed to know the business side of me, my friends new the fun, loyal, spontaneous caring side of me, etc.

I had been very selective in who got to see and know all the parts of me. While I understand that no one know every part all of us, or know ourselves better than we do...it was now becoming a question? Why was I holding back and not sharing ALL of me, with everyone?

Through some soul searching, the answer I arrived at...was that I had conditioned myself only to give as much as what I perceived others could either handle or wanted to know so they would like me. Suddenly I realized that I was trusting other people's opinion of me, more than I was trusting myself. How did that happen? Through careful examination, honesty and transparency I realized that I had taught each person I met and interacted with to only allow me to be part of me. Now, why would I have done that? The deeper truth was that I had not trusted myself enough to play 100% and be 100% of who I am. Bringing all my gifts and my voice to a world that needs each and everyone of us!

So until very recently, I experienced a block in allowing myself to show up 100% of the time in all areas of my life, with everyone who touches my life. This does not mean that I need for everyone I know or met to know everything about me, it does mean that with each person I know and meet from this day forward will be granted access to 100% of me. Do I anticipate that there may be some resistance to this lifestyle change, maybe, even probably...however I am not hear to hide anymore. I am stepping into my Magnificence and no longer going to dim my light. (Even when it gets scary). If you have been touched by this message and are called to step into your Magnificence, I invite you to join me as we shine our lights together for ALL the world to see.
