Wanna know a trick for living a better life?
Be more vulnerable. I’ve found that the degree to which you’re willing to be vulnerable is the degree to which you can grow in life.
I’m a pretty vulnerable dude. If you’ve read my stuff for a while then you know I’m an open book. I don’t hold back. I’m not afraid of offending people and I don’t really care what people think…
As long as I’m being honest and good-hearted then I don’t care how people react. I send whatever I want to send to people on my email list.
But I have a confession to make.
When it comes to my Instagram following I’ve been afraid to be completely myself. I’ve been holding back.
There’s some weird block I have around just being my weird crazy self on Instagram. It’s weird. I don’t experience this in real life, via email, or on facebook.
But there’s something about Instagram that causes me to hold back.
I’m aware of it so I’m doing some Corrections (a method to remove mental blocks) to get out of my own way.
Just wanted to let you know that everyone has something they’re working on. This is what I’m working on.
It’s a little embarrassing for me to admit all this because it’s not normally something I’ve struggled with.
But hopefully that inspires you in some way to let go of what other people think and just DO THE DAMN THING you’re supposed to do.
If not, I still want you to have a great Wednesday night.
I’m off to hang with some friends at nearby bar.
Before I go, just wanted to let you know that I wrote a book with some real vulnerable stories in it. (In case you don’t already have it.)
It’s called Confessions of a Persuasion Hitman. You can grab a copy for free, just cover a tiny $5.89 shipping fee.
Talk soon,
