Looking after others at your own expense, worrying about being accepted, being “vanilla” in order to appeal to everyone, the fear of making waves and being seen

Polarize isn’t a bad word! Great leaders are not selling safe, usual, everyday ideas. It’s time to bravely put your truth and your wisdom out on display in order to find those individuals who totally love what you’re saying. Finding those soulful kindreds may mean that there will be others who disagree with what you’re all about. And that’s okay. It’s time to get comfortable with this possibility and steer clear of any safely watereddown, vanilla choices that are meant to keep you palatable and liked. You are anything but average, so don’t hide your powerful message from the world by trying to appeal to the taste of the masses! Growth and change are, by nature, uncomfortable for some people, and your particular brand of magic won’t be perfect for everyone. Your people will feel compelled by your authentic stories, courage, vulnerability, and honesty. Be courageous, and allow your unique flavor of awesome-sauce to shine through! You’ll attract people who are fiercely in love with what you’re up to, and your heart will feel so full that the light of the world will spill forth from your joy.
