Too often we have been hesitant to express ourselves. Fearing rejection, our own or another's, we withdrew. The more we closed off, the more lonely and fearful we became. Before we were willing to risk sharing ourselves, many of us needed to hear over and over again that expressing our feelings is a sign of being healthy. When we are finally able to tell someone what we are feeling, we experience relief and often jubilation. Someone's acceptance gives us the courage to risk once again.
May I be willing to risk sharing who I am with someone today.
Only through self-disclosure do we discover the beauty of self.
