This sums it up!

Ummmm ... this sums it up!

All the time I see people being criticised for putting themselves and their products and offers out there...

It breaks my heart to see people retract their gift and hide...

I know I lived this for many years too... playing things down...

I used to park my car blocks away and walk so people didn’t see it because it was nicer than most.

I used to not invite people to my place for the same reason.

Until I decided to change all that... instead celebrate these things as fun facilitators... an opportunity to share and have fun... house, cars, boats, toys...

If you know me I share all these things with friends and family... I enjoy other people having fun!!!

But judgement and criticism are really things holding people back... making people hide!

In some countries it is worse than others.

Aussies seem to have a tall poppy syndrome which other countries find really weird.

Maybe it is a DNA imprint and this behaviour is the need to conform to the norm as a nation from British convict defendants...

Anyway, bringing awareness to the fact you may be holding yourself back because of the critics is the first step...

And this quote is a good reminder of the source of the criticism 🙂
