Whenever we feel that who we are is not enough and that we need to be bigger, better, or more exciting, we send a message to ourselves that we are not enough. Meanwhile, people who are not trying to be something more than they are walk into a room and bring a feeling of ease, humor, and warmth with them.
Our reward for taking such a risk is that as we do, we will attract and inspire others, giving them the permission to be real too.
