Playing the Game

When I read blogs, they often feel like the same posts over and over again. Buy this, love this, make this. I often wonder "Is the most difficult part of her day choosing which shoes to wear?" Because she makes it sound like it's a really hard decision. Then I keep reading because she's funny and those shoes are totally cute!

Being transparent and vulnerable are scary and can hurt. I spent years necessarily playing my cards close to my chest so now I instinctually bluff even when I have a good hand. I hold those cards so tightly that sometimes I even miss my turn to play them. When I am being completely honest (here or elsewhere) it is often vague. I wish life wasn't a game. I wish that I could be 100% honest and transparent 100% of the time with everyone.

My goal this week: Let go of some cards...

Anyone relate?

  1. I totally get that. Sometimes I think I have a "great" idea for a post and then I think....someone else has probably done that before and mine won't be half as nice. Thanks for the reminder to let it go. Cue: Frozen ;)

  2. I just don't post based on what I think people are going to want to read... I post what I feel like writing! I think what comes naturally is what people prefer to read, because it is in your voice and represents you.

    I highly recommend watching this video called "The Power of Vulnerability" by Brene Brown. Vulnerability is a good thing!
