"Pour from your OWN cup!"
… is what I heard. Loud and clear.
I sat in my kitchen, gazing out the window just before daylight broke. Finally feeling there was space and quiet in my head. When the message came.
The emphasis is on “own”.
The thing is, I have, once again, allowed social media and even Substack to create overwhelm and land me in the realm of competition and create a case of comparisonitis.
Meaning, once what little spark of inspiration showed up, I found myself saying and thinking that “this has already been covered by extremely talented and capable people”.
‘Pour from your OWN cup!”
Must be my go! sign.
Yours too perhaps? If you've been in a place similar to mine?
I sincerely believe - even KNOW in my core - that each of us have somthing
powerful and important to contribute. To each one indiviually and the collective.
It is said that no one has a dream in life without also having the resources to make it real.
So, go for it! Pour from your OWN cup!
It doesn't have to be from a big stage or in front of a camera.
Every single time you show up as YOU in whatever setting - big or small - makes a difference.
