Take the Risk of Sharing Us.
Our ‘others’ love what we put forward as the genuine us. Still, we know that it's a facade. They think it's the genuine us! Our ‘others’ basically get to love (or not love) what we give them to love or not love. Are they wrong for loving what we ask them to love?
At some point we have to take charge of this choice. We learn to hide some or all of our true self from others. So now we’ll take a risk and show the real us.
Yes, maybe some our ‘others’ won't love us for who we really are. Yet if we don't come out of hiding, we can be assured that nobody will love us.
If we want to be loved for who we really are, we have to be willing to BE who we really are. We’ll share that with others. We take charge of - carry the burden of - conveying to others who our real self is. Is this scary and risky?
Sure. But it beats hiding our light!
