Ever had those moments where at the time everything seemed the norm, yet later you shake your head? I had a few like that today. As 3 fairly important local business people sat in my small office and tossed about ideas, me as an equal communicating my mission and goals, all felt normal. Yet now, hours later I think "holy cow! I sat there, was treated as an equal!!! Someone worthy of consideration. Was offered guidance. WOW!"
Sometimes we are stuck feeling like that little kid still. I have made it. Made it to a place where I am connecting with people who can help me realize some dreams. Made it to a place where with the help of others almost anything is impossible. Made it to a place where I attempt to straddle profit and social profit. Made it to a place where I have enough experience to carry some weight to my ideas. Not just a kid anymore.
Okay, I do realize there is responsibility with this. The wildest part? I do not see this as a stepping stone at all. I am fully in the moment and loving the now! Connected to it, passionate about it and invigorated with the possibilities.
Funny, but I can see how my enthusiasm, passion and drive would scare some people especially men. And I am good with that. Why you ask? Mostly because I am realizing that we cannot apologize for who we are or what we are. When we draw people to us who want to share in this, and are as excited about the potential world out there as you are.... it can be amazing. They add to the colour, depth and flavour of things! They are so well worth waiting for. Ahhhh.
More please!
