| I realized when I went to see my therapist last week that I'm preparing for something. I've been feeling for a while that I am about to propel into my next level of honesty. The truth is that deep down what I really love doing is helping people... helping people help themselves, empowering themselves, liberating themselves. But I also know the only way I can do that well is to break away from the crowd and do it my way. I know I already offend people. But I get this feeling that I'm going to go even further. It's necessary in order to truly help people. For me, anyway. And it's scary. I'm not afraid to admit it. Don't you ever feel that way? That the only way you can be more influential in the world is by being more authentically yourself while knowing this is going to offend more people? Tell me I'm not alone here. |
