13 Apr What Are You Waiting For?
HELLO FRIENDS!
I have known this most of my life. I am almost 50, yet it took this long for me to say it out loud: I am a writer and a storyteller.
I am not sure what took me so long.
Actually, I do, I was afraid.
Of not being good enough, of not being qualified enough, of just not being enough.
Have you been there? Not living your true self because you are afraid of what people will say or think?
I just finished a challenge on LinkedIn called 30-Day LinkedIn Sprint. In this challenge, we were required to tell stories on LinkedIn, every day for 30 days. That is right. Every. Single. Day.
I started it under the thought, that I needed to get more active and back into my LinkedIn but if I am being honest what I really attracted me to it was the promise of creating a more consistent writing practice.
It was exhausting. It was exhilarating. It was everything.
About halfway through the challenge, I realized what I always knew but I was too afraid to say, I am a writer.
Creating my content was hard at first because I wasn’t 100% comfortable sharing my story on LinkedIn. But once I started and saw the reaction, I couldn’t stop. The ideas and the stories flowed from me. That is when I knew and was brave enough to finally say, I am a storyteller.
The risk I took to become a Life Enthusiast was worth it. I was making a difference. Telling my story was inspiring others. What had I been waiting for?
Me. I needed to be ready. I needed to believe.
I do now. Fully with my whole heart. I know what I am doing is the thing I am meant to do and I can’t wait to do more of it!
What about you?
Is there something you have been holding off doing? What are YOU waiting for?
