RE: On Not Being Good Enough | 10 Min Freewrite

in #ecotrain7 years ago (edited)

It's great that writing helps you process, and that you write regularly. For a lot of people writing can be almost like magic in how it helps them move energy forward, so long as you're focused on writing about what you do want more than just documenting your worries and woes.

I totally get the idea of not feeling ready to put yourself out as an expert on something until you feel you're the BEST expert at it. You might not say it that way, but that's the real issue. So long as we can identify people we think are better, we think we aren't ready for primetime. But the reality is that there will always be someone who is better with some things on a topic, while we have a unique gift to bring through. The problem is comparing our gifts to someone else's and expecting to be the same. We have to learn to recognize and appreciate the unique qualities we bring to any subject. That's where you have no competition, and being ready just means you know more than someone else, and know how to teach that to them.

I can tell you right now, you DEFINITELY know more than me, and I've already been learning from you. Keep going. And enjoy the ride enough so that what labels you collect along the way don't even matter.

This is exactly the message I need. I dig it!! I hear it! Thank you for shedding light, dear! You're so clear, direct and kind, and I really appreciate and am thankful for you! I can see that some reflection along these lines, honing in, asking mySelf and my particular Universe What this is and... just letting it unfold, as you say! I can see that I was looking at it from a faulty perspective... this really helped me to center and get clarity! I'm really glad I opened up and shared my vulnerability as your response and a couple others really reached right in there in Exactly the way I needed. Much love! How's your move going? XO
