One sunshiny Monday morning; I was in a rush to get to a team meeting. It was one I was particularly excited about, because I was the leading the discussion. I even had a white board! I thought I was super cool and totally going to impress. Just as I was about to leave, I had the thought to grab a dry erase marker. I immediately ignored it, there was going to be one where I was going.
When I arrived, I promptly asked if I could borrow a dry erase marker for the discussion. YUP, you guessed it... there was no dry erase marker to be found. Not having what seemed to be a meaningless object, changed the whole dynamic of the meeting. It was not as productive as it could have been.
I was embarrassed...
The whole meeting I could not help but wish I just grabbed a marker. It made me even more upset knowing that I had thought to grab one, and simply did not listen! Why did I ignored it? There was no reason to, and the thought was so clear in my mind.
From that day I realized I was not really wondering why I ignored the thought, I was wondering why the thought so distinct? Sure, the marker would have been more helpful, but it honestly did not affect my life.
IT WAS JUST A DUMB PEN!
That is the answer, though, it is a dumb pen!
A pen is something my brain knows, understands, I can even touch it. So, when the little voice inside my head was telling me to grab one I could hear it. Without even thinking I could comprehend the idea of needing the pen. I just chose to disregard grabbing one, not because I did not need one, because I truly thought there would be one available to me.
It is when the little voice inside your head is trying to tell you something more obscure, it becomes harder to hear. Your other thoughts muffle it because the brain does not understand why it should do that, everything else seems more important, and more likely it is afraid... afraid of the unknown.
It is those thoughts, however, that will have an affect on your life... maybe even affect the life of someone else. It is those thoughts that we are often afraid of that are the answers to questions we have been asking. It is those thoughts that are so important that you really have to listen for them. If you are not listening you will not hear anything, and the less you hear the less the little voice inside your head will try to tell you.

Take some time and listen!

It took me a long time to realize that I was hiding myself from the world.
What people thought of me was a major concern of mine. What I thought was cool and what the little voice inside my head was telling me... I kept to myself. I did not do anything that someone could have a negative opinion about, if I could avoid it.
I became the person I thought I was supposed to be, and did what I thought I was supposed to do instead of listening to the little voice inside my head and being myself.

I was NOBODY!
That may seem harsh, but the definition fits. Nobody, noun: "a person of no importance." There is no way you can be important or have any sort of power while pretending to be anyone other than yourself. You quite possibly could have more people like you, but have no one really respect you or look up to you.
I want to inspire people and the only way I can truly do that is being myself.

So, World... This is me, unedited and uncaring ME!
You can Love it or Hate it, but at least you feel something! I am not nobody anymore... I am ME!!!
You are the only you there is and ever will be. I repeat, you are the only you there is and ever will be. Do not deny the world its one and only chance to bask in your brilliance. --Jen CinceroIt is time for all of us to stop hiding and seriously listen to what the little voice inside our heads are trying to tell us. Believe me, I know how hard this can be. It is a surprisingly scary thing to let your inner self out and share that with the world. Once you do, the possibilities are only limited to what you think and believe are possible.
You are awesome and it is only you that can allow the world to realize that fact too!
