I’m Still Baffled by People Who Put Themselves Out There
Seriously, how do these individuals who live and love with their whole hearts do it?
I am a huge fan of the work Brenne Brown has done on shame and scarcity. I’ve read three of her best sellers but I am still struggling to find a way to live wholeheartedly despite my fears. Of course I do not expect a growth and development journey to happen overnight (and it will never come to an end — individual growth and development is a lifetime pursuit), but I still cannot wrap my head around some of the concepts that the people who live wholehearted lives follow.
I’ve been seeing a counselor for the past almost three years and I am so glad to have had her recommended to me. She has been an essential part of my growth journey since I was 22 years old and I do not know where I’d be today without her. I give massive credit to the mentors and friends I have met along the way that introduced me to her. Point of this is, I needed help and still need massive amounts of help to grow and learn. And this is one of the questions that still boggles me — do these people have help too? Or do they just have a natural inclination toward self-awareness and development? This may seem like a dumb question but I do wonder.
