DON'T DO THIS IF YOU'RE INTROVERTED

I thought there was something odd about me for most of my life.

That I was different and I had to hide a part of me from others to appear normal.

But it turns out I was an introvert and that there are even people out there who dislike small talk as much as me.

We must take pride in our nature.

We must own who we are and realise that what we can bring is a tremendous gift to the world.

But we need to be careful that our gift does not burn us:

- By getting lost in overthinking without breathing and pausing.

- By isolating ourselves from others and from our edges.

- By only following what we enjoy, rather than what will stretch us.

And finally by taking our past too seriously; never forgiving ourselves for who we were, and seeing it in the positive light that it can be.

We can live a great life when we know how resistance (to sharing our greatness) can sometimes get in the way.
