Last week’s letter was long.
So this week’s will be short, I promise.
I just want to encourage you to keep showing up as you are. Not as the you you wish to be, or whom others wish you to be. Just show up as you… as you are… every day… in every moment.
I personally think that when we are our most authentic selves and express ourselves in the freedom of a moment just as we are, it makes life more meaningful to ourselves and to those around us.
It always surprises me when I hear from someone who says something like, “I want to thank you for something you said the other day. It changed my life.” I can hardly remember what I said. I never intended it to have an 'impact' or to change anyone’s life. I just expressed myself authentically because it is most meaningful to me, and it ended up being meaningful to someone else.
Salt flavours the food by being… salt! Just by being what it is.
It’s the same with you. You flavour your world by being… you! Just by being who you are.
You might be thinking… Maybe so and so. But not me. I’m too plain, or ordinary, or unpleasant, or unremarkable.
But that’s not true.
The most remarkable people to me are also the ones who don’t realize this about themselves.
And if you happen to think you are remarkable… then be your remarkable self.
In any case… all the people I know and have ever met… impress me most when they are most themselves.
That includes you.
I love you and appreciate you… just as you are.
So show up… as you!
Love you,
David
