“What if the most generous thing you can be is full of yourself?”
Personal Reflection
I’ve always admired the energy I was raised around- people who are full of themselves in the best way. Who walk into a room knowing they’re the best- a natural confidence without comparison.
Today, an old acquaintance resurfaced through a strange story. One that left me confused—because I haven’t seen or heard of her in years. And whether or not she intended to make me seem small in her story, I am clear on this: When someone tries to seem bigger than others, it’s rarely because they are- it’s usually because they’re afraid they’re not.
None of us are here to play along with anyone’s illusion. We’ve all built something worth showing up for in this life. It’s like the saying-why dim our lights just to make others feel comfortable? Shouldn’t we hope to shine so brightly it blinds?
When I feel called to be full of myself, I hope it’s enough to invite others to be full of themselves too.
What about you? Are you full of yourself—yet?
