SO. I have to admit that I watch Oprah's Lifeclass, if you haven't watched it don't judge until you do! Today, I was touched. Today she discussed a lot of things, but one thing that resonated me was how it's easy not to be your greatest JUST to make other people feel comfortable. I do this!! Do you?
Now, I'm not exactly sure how to change this and feel comfortable feeling fabulous, but ahhh if anyone finds out, LET ME KNOW....:)
I watch Oprah's Lifeclass too sometimes. I think we are socialized, especially as women to try to make everyone feel comfortable whether it be our partner, our colleagues, our friends, whoever. I haven't figured out just yet how to be comfortable feeling fabulous, but I think part of it involves accepting that everyone has faults (including ourselves) and having faults does not preclude us from greatness.
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to believe that though...I think, and maybe it's a personal problem, that it is SO hard, to forgive "yourself/myself" from faults. "But I agree faults DO NOT preclude us from that great greatness. I hope to make that connection one day..not just theoretically in my mind because I get it - but foreal.
