I’ve been waiting for you. Yep, you. You’re exactly who I needed today! In fact, you’re exactly who a lot of people need today. You’ve worked really, really hard to become the person you are today. You should be proud of that! You should also share that.
Grab a hot cup of coffee or a little-too-full glass of wine and prep your heart. The world needs us to start showing up. Is it just me or does that seem crazy daunting? Yeah, no.. it’s crazy daunting. How am I supposed to work out, grocery shop and meal prep, walk my dog, drink enough water, keep my house clean, foster my relationship with my husband-to-be, hang out with friends and family, AND chase my dreams, and…
Wait. Why do I think I have to do this all alone?
What would it look like if we freely admitted when we needed help? What would it look like if we let people love on us and help? How would we feel if we had our buckets filled consistently?
I guess what I’m really asking is… what would a world of actual connection look like? I’m not talking passive Facebook stalking, and I don’t mean a simple like or follow on Instagram. What I’m dreaming of is a world where we trust each other again. Where we actually rely on those around us and give of ourselves openly and with abandon. It seems impossible to get there, but I refuse to believe that. I simply will not accept anything less.
People, I can’t do this on my own. I don’t even know where to start! But I know that starting is the most important part, because done is better than perfect. We don’t have to be perfect at this, we don’t even have to be good at it yet, we just have to start. What’s your first step?
