Fear of vulnerability. Sharing dreams, interests and passions. Showing who we are and letting people in. Episode 88

Sharing passions and dreams, and everything else close to our hearts, can bring enormous discomfort and resistance. 

It’s where we are most afraid of rejection, judgement and criticism. So oftentimes we keep it for ourselves. Well hidden from the outside world. 

Sometimes even more from our closest, because we couldn’t bear hearing that they don’t like or accept this side of us. 

So we hold back. 

Keep our babies safe. 

We hide our softness and love. 

What if we can find love for ourselves in every moment. Who I we are here and now. 

And bring the heart into our conversations. 

Start pulling people in, instead of pushing them away. Seeing cooperation instead of competition. 

Seeing invitations, warmth, curiosity, love and connection by assuming the best about other people. Assuming that people can handle us and like us.

And that we can handle when they don’t. Because let’s be honest. Everyone dislikes and judges something about us. No one likes it all and wants to be with us 24/7 for the rest of their lives.. 

Even though they love us, likes us and wants to be our friends, partners and colleagues. 

And still when they dislike us, they still want to have us in their lives. And if they can’t handle our inner truths, who we are underneath all of the walls and protection mechanisms, well, then maybe it’s not people we wanna have in our lives.
