BEING FULLY EXPRESSED My friend Jordana Jaffe just asked a great question on her wall about being fully expressed. Would love to hear your experiences with being fully expressed. Do you share how you feel about other people with them no matter what? How often do you sugarcoat things or speak half-truths? Is feeling fully expressed self-serving since its a catharsis of sorts or is it about working towards deepening connections with people? Or a bit of both perhaps? Wondering what the world would look like if we were all truly honest with ourselves and each other. Heres my reply... ### Its a constant coming out process. Every day feels like coming out of the closet. Every tomorrow you feel more powerful. Then another layer appears. Another fear, another secret, another should, another boundary, another decision. Over time you wake up and look in the mirror and at your friends around you and you dont even recognize yourself anymore. Somehow youve become the person that you used to be jealous of. Things that used to take you out of commission for a day or a week you move through like it was tying your shoe. Your fears from a year ago are so trivial its almost silly now to think about. Every conversation you have with someone is the deepest conversation of their life. You mere being creates miracles in the rooms, events, or conversations that you choose to engage with. Other people see you on the outside as fearless. But inside youre just onto the next fear in an infinite queue of irrational thoughts and feelings about yourself. Which creates a bit of an impostor syndrome. Suddenly youre surrounded by some of the most powerful people on Earth. People who you would have never imagined that you would get to get spend time. Now they are your friends. Powerful people like other powerful people and true power is sourced from Truth. Every day feels like Heaven On Earth as the constant fear and stress from hiding all your secrets is gone. You still fart and eat too much dark chocolate.
