Living out loud isn’t about splashing yourself all over social media or burning your time comparing your life and worth to airbrushed digital avatars and snapshots.
It’s about you living each day with your heart wide open, your ideas flowing, and your gifts showing up to make a difference in someone else’s life.
It’s about “quiet power” that gets things done with minimal fuss and maximum impact.
Daring to live out loud is the courage to discover why you’re here, who you’re here for, and why it all matters in the first place.
You don’t need a million followers on social media.
You don’t need everybody breathlessly hanging on your every word.
You don’t need the never-ending pressure of running on a hamster wheel to get more and more hearts, shares, comments, and retweets.
What you do need is to refine your message and build the right community around what you have to offer and how it can transform them.
You do need a platform for your body of work that doesn’t depend on transient apps and popular trends to survive.
You do need to figure out the best way to reach your people and have a real relationship with them.
Maybe this means you’ll never be an international superstar, or be a multibillionaire, or win the Nobel prize, or write a #1 New York Times bestseller.
Can you still show up and do the work?
Can you still push yourself beyond your comfort zone and unleash your genius?
Can you still see the beauty and opportunity in each new day, even when it’s hard and dark and you feel like you’re trudging through knee-deep mud?
Can you still live out loud even if it means only one person hears you?
There’ll be rough days. Doubt. Despair. Darkness. Tears and heartbreak and almost giving up.
But there’ll also be blissful days. Joy. Light. Excitement. Fire in your blood and stars in your eyes. Feeling you can go on forever even if you’re never recognised for it.
No one can tell you exactly how it’ll feel or what it’ll take to be who you’re called to be and do what you’re called to do.
You have to discover it for yourself and decide that this day, right here, right now, you’re going to show up and put your back into it. You’re going to make it count. You’re going to shine, dang it, because you are not giving up and you will not be afraid.
The question isn’t, “How dare I do this?”
The question is, “How can I not?”
The answer you choose?
Is up to you.
