#47 Being brutally honest with you… with Gary Douglas

What would you like to create as your life? I have spoken about how I got to that point of create or die, to continue down the road I was on or create something different, something greater.  It’s been a journey looking to create a greater life. On that journey I had to look at some things I had been avoiding for a very long time that was destroying me, things like vulnerability, what creating my life my way might be like, true kindness for me and being brutally honest with myself.  It can be really uncomfortable when you are looking at changing something in your life and yet it has been on of the greatest gifts for me.  This is part 6 of a 6-part series about facing a secret that was destroying my life.

Remember when you lived a life from wonder?For a lot of us we stopped choosing that from a very young age.  We think we are just us, not noticing how magnificent and unique we are. When no one else sees what we see, or know what we know we eliminate everything that we are to fit into a world we did not know how to fit into. I have been there, done that, wore the t-shirt… and I hope this episode of where this journey all started contributes to you getting to more of you starting a journey of what is true for you.This is part 2 of a 5-part series about facing a secret that was destroying my life.
