Ever wonder if it is worth it? You give it your all, do the right thing, be there no matter what, and still it doesn’t seem like enough.
I deal with these thoughts, still, from time to time, and recently had a painful experience feeling like I didn’t fit in with the ‘cool kids’. Fitting in, for most of us, brings back experiences from our childhood and wanting to feel included. After many years of awareness and personal development I thought I had this one handled, but it came right back up again.
Why am I telling you this? Because even as fully grown adults, when things are going along swimmingly – BAM – out of nowhere we can get hooked by someone or something and let doubt about ourselves creep in; at home, at the office or with a client.
I meet a lot of people in my travels when I am speaking about Recalculating and dealing with change, and coming off stage, every single time, there are moving conversations. Courageous people remind me again and again we are all human beings dealing with similar concerns and worries.
We all want the same basics; to be loved, to be heard, to be safe, to feel as if we matter.
There have been a few experiences in my life recently to point out just how precious our time is. Dear friends dealing with major health challenges, let alone the state of the world, have me well aware I must continue to take excellent care of myself and my family. And I must remember to have fun!
Here in Hell’s Kitchen, we are going to see live theatre (so blessed to have Broadway at our front door), playing ping pong, cooking together and eating on our roof deck.
What are you doing for fun?
