If we truly put ourselves out there in an arms-and-heart-wide-open do-whatever-it takes kind of way:
People might laugh at us.
People might think we are pushy, ambitious, full on.
People might be offended.
If we keep our true desires some kind of secret we never share:
Nothing. happens.
If we go with option a and put ourselves out there:
We might be surprised at how much joy it brings to people.
We might be amazed at how much respect we receive from people.
We might be overjoyed by how much more connected we are with people.
Out there is where it is at. What are you doing in here?
