You may have a great idea, but if it’s stuck in your head it will never be more than just that: an idea. Why haven’t you brought that idea to life? Is it because you’re shy and don’t want people to judge you? If that is the case, it’s time to get out of your head. Instead, let yourself shine!
Let’s say you want to write a book or change careers. Those are big steps and you may have to ask people for help. But, ugh, that means you’ll be vulnerable and have to put yourself out there. Scary, right? But what’s the alternative? Never coming out and saying you have a dream? It’s sad to think how many people don’t go after their dreams because of fear of seeming vulnerable. If you don’t put yourself out there, you’ll never know if you could have succeeded. And honestly, I wouldn’t want to live knowing my dream didn’t work out because I never tried.
So if you’re being held back, because you’re scared of asking people for help or your scared of putting yourself out there, tell yourself “I am worthy and safe.” Because you are. If you truly feel that way and feel empowered, the people around you will believe the same about you.
Being a person that loves to give is great. But you must know how to receive, as well, to be able to succeed. Be willing to state what you’re going out there for. Reach out to the people you know who can help you and believe in you. Ask with confidence and you will surely receive.
