Authenticity Over Approval
The chameleon fascinates us.

Many want the current situation to change. They wait for money to come in. They wait for a better position at work. They wait on friends to change. All the time waiting for something external to change, so they may advance.
It is the same with our attitude, beliefs, and actions. We fear changing ourselves. We fear our success. We fear putting ourselves out there. We fear changing our beliefs and attitude.
You are the center your life pivots around. You are the common denominator in your dreams and expectations. You hold the magical wand.
Every time you criticize yourself, take note of the "reason". What is the story? Over time you will find a thread - I am not good enough. I am scared I will fail. What if I fail? Good never happens to me.
Place you hand over your heart. Know that you are alive and safe. Know that you only need to answer to yourself. Know that you are the magic.
Start with changing one thing - what about keeping quiet and not being so critical of yourself. Be quiet. You don't have to do anything else, except to stop yourself mid-sentence. Repeat it tomorrow, and keep going. Soon you will find other things magically change - that is the magic of you.
Once you have established your story, take that first step. Come on, you can.
