What's in a name? A lot. What's in someone else's name? Certainly not you.
People - family, friends, colleagues, and taking it a step further; fans, followers, and other audiences want to engage with you, not a semblance of you, or you parroting someone else.
Your thoughts, your beliefs, your faith, your dreams, your musings, and your opinions - that's what we are hoping to engage and learn. Worried that someone's not interested or that you're uninteresting? Lies, all lies. There's always someone that is ready and willing to celebrate your uniqueness with you.
Whether you're speaking, blogging, tweeting, writing, conversing, posting - whatever the communication form may be, punctuate it with you.
As I read this, Stephanie, I found myself singing under my breath, a favorite lyric from "A Chorus Line:" "Who am I anyway? Am I my resume?..." :)
ReplyDeleteDidn't we talk about this a few days ago?
ReplyDeleteGreat thoughts (as always).
