The day I launched Kind YYC I had an event in the evening. We all had to introduce ourselves and share a bit about who we were. I was the middle of the pack of about 30 people who were doing short intros, so I had lots of time to think about what I would say. The whole time I waffled about if I should mention Kind YYC or not.
In the end, I didn't. I regretted that decision as soon as I sat down. My fear that day was dressed up as humble.
Humble can be a very tricky thing. It's one of those lies that the resistance tells us when it's trying to convince us to stay in the fear. To not share our gifts with the world.
Since that day, I've had so much validation of and personal joy from Kind YYC that I can't believe I didn't speak up. On that day though the resistance won. It's now a memory I carry with me that gives me that extra kick anytime resistance tries to play humble.
