Mike and I did a presentation on Monday for the employees at Fairfield county Ohio. I don’t know about anyone else, but I had a blast. And was reminded about how we humans are able to operate outside our normal comfort zones when we have to. I’m guessing that very few people who were at the meeting believe me when I say I’m incredibly shy!
I know it sounds odd – especially if you saw me prancing around on stage. But it’s true. And to demonstrate how I know it’s true all you have to do is hear people talk about my soon-to-be 2 year old son – Quinlan. His teachers at school say that he’s super shy when something or someone new comes along. And then when he gets comfortable he’s a very outgoing and gregarious little boy.
Me too. When I was waiting for people to show up I was nervous and sweaty and panicking. As soon as the first person entered the room I switched gears and became the person I needed to be at that time and moment. And ultimately loved every minute of it. And the point I’m trying to make to anyone out there is, I’m normal. Every day we have to do things that we don’t believe we’re cut out to be. But because we understand that by making ourselves do it our life will be more fulfilled we go ahead and create this ‘alter ego’ who fills in for us. My alter ego filled in for me on Monday AND will fill in for me when I have to work out today….
