“Telling someone how you feel is honestly the hardest thing ever.” –Unknown
Many of us have been shaped by the self-made-man or self-made-woman motif.
There’s a lot of John Wayne swagger in our images of being successful and together.
And yet, if you dig underneath the neatly coiffed outward appearances, all people experience personal and growth challenges.
One downfall is keeping what’s inside to ourselves.
Too often we find out stuff was going on with someone only after they’ve removed themselves from the conversation.
Yet, if we tell our own truth, others sense the safety to do the same.
In many respects, telling others serves our greater good.
Want to realize that you’re just like everyone else? Tell someone what’s going on with you.
Want to find voices more supportive than those in your head? Tell someone what you’d like to achieve.
Want to be sure you achieve what you say? Tell someone and ask them to hold you accountable.
What can you tell someone today to plug into resources outside of your own?
Gonna tell someone?
“Tell the truth, or eventually someone will tell it for you.” –Stephanie Klein
