What If I’m Wrong?

What if:

• the nervousness I feel when I’m about to speak isn’t fear?
• that slightly sickly feeling that accompanies a juicy idea isn’t doubt that I’ll be able to pull it off?
• the resistance I feel when it’s time to work on something I deeply care about is not insufficiency?
• the perfectionism that grips me in an endless loop of edits and improvements so that I don’t get around to sharing what I know in my bones will be a benefit to others is not a commitment to excellence?
• waiting for the right timing, right tag line, right client, right business card is not strategic?

What if it’s all really about excitement? What if it’s a case of mistaken identity that I’ve characterized as nervousness?  What if, instead of letting it stop me from playing full out, I share what I’m excited about with enthusiasm? What if I were able to drop, simply drop, the fear of being judged and just be myself?

What if I knew that:

• that tingly feeling is the creative juice that fuels the full color expression of what is good, true and beautiful in my nature?
• shortness of breath creates the space for words that come deeply from my heart to surface?
• the gnawing in my gut is an indicator that whatever I’m cooking up is worth doing?
• shyness can accompany sharing (in whatever form)  what really matters to me?
• the desire to bolt is a sign that I’ve struck the gold of my own truth?

What would change for you if you’ve been wrong?

   Uncanny. How do you always manage to tap into exactly what I was thinking about just before I read your latest post??
