Will the Real Pam Please Show Up?
I am tired, but in a really good way. I just spent the last several days at a coaching conference, connecting with colleagues, reuniting with friends that I have not seen in a few years, and taking in some awesome information.
In one of the break out sessions I attended we were asked, "What is courage calling you to do?" Pretty heavy question...a potential stumper. Interestingly enough the answer came to me instantly. Courage is calling me to show up fully as me and trust that who I am is enough.
OK, it's not that I have not been showing up as me, but I realized that I have, at times, conformed just to fit in. I have, at times, settled in fear of not being accepted. I have, at times, tolerated things that did not feel in alignment with me because I did not wish to rock the boat.
No more. I am committed to fully showing up as me...warts and all. To trusting in myself and my capabilities to make a difference. You see, I also realized that trust is like a muscle, the more you use it the stronger it gets...so here's to trust and showing up.

I love this! Who hasn't been where you describe being? Craving acceptance, not being a boat rocker (boy am I acquainted with that one...ick).
I've reached the same conclusion as you have: NO MORE. From personal experience, you are right on the money when you say that trust is like a muscle. The more I step through the fear and stay true to myself, listening to my vibes, establishing boundaries, and believing in myself, the stronger my trust becomes.
Great truth you posted Pam. :)
