A lick of paint and it’ll look good as new.
Paper over the cracks; nobody will guess.
It’s just a white lie - nobody gets hurt.
But it’s not true - or it’s not the whole truth.
Don’t you want to be someone who can be trusted? The kind of person people go to for your wisdom and expertise?
Have you spent your whole life worrying that someone will find out you are not as ‘good’ as you have made out you are? Well - time to stop. Time to work with the grain of who you really are, stand tall and live with a healthy rhythm in life because you are using your natural gifts/skills and honing them so you can shine as the best of yourself. And if you’ve lost track of, or never really known, what your strengths are – time to discover them.
Wouldn’t that be nice/peaceful/fun/joy-giving/productive/fulfilling?
I remember a friend once saying that he could write me a CV that would get me any job I wanted. I was horrified. He said that I could then learn on the job and it is what most people do. Really? Not me; I want to sleep at night and get satisfaction and verbal affirmation for doing a good job!
I invite you to have a free call with me if any of this resonates and you want to rise to the challenges that will suit YOU.
