I’ve met so many brilliant people with game-changing ideas that tell me that they are unsure that what they have to share in the world is of value.
They are face-to-face with their self-worth.
I’m sitting in a cafe in Austin, Texas on a beautiful Sunday afternoon and I look up at the sky. It’s a gorgeous day with white puffy clouds.
Suddenly I realize – the magnitude of cities, countries, landscapes and situations in the world.
People enjoying life, people in pain, people relaxing, people stressing out. People walking down plazas, back alleys, bars, hospitals.
Birthday parties, graduations, car accidents, panic attacks, joy, war, desperation, laughter. People experiencing ancient archeological marvels and newly built architectural wonders.
Rainforests, deserts, glaciers. Submarines, jet planes, space shuttles, self-driving cars, tuk-tuks.
Anyway. Long story, short.
It’s the magnificence and full spectrum of life – its people, its diversity – that can only be seen when you get out of your head. Out of your own life.
Zoom out to see that everyone has their own universe inside their mind.
What does that have to do with your business? With your goals and with your dreams?
Nothing.
That’s right. The measure of your own self-worth from yourself, or others, should not get in the way of your goals.
Because it doesn’t matter. You can be the person who lends a helping hand, a smile, a word of encouragement, a hug, a favor. It doesn’t matter. And for the most part, you don’t need to feel like you’re worthy enough that your words will make a difference or that your smile looks nice enough to brighten someone else’s day.
You’re ridiculous.
Get out there.
Change the world.
One person at a time.
- Zoom out and shift your perspective.
- Have the intention to help.
- And take the action to follow through.
It doesn’t matter who you are. It matters that you did.
And you do.
With Love,
Jacqueline
