390: Leigh Martinuzzi – Self-Importance, Expression, & Creating Positive Change
Self-Importance, Expression, & Creating Positive Change
“A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small parcel.” John Ruskin
Most of us believe so strongly in our self-importance, including me, that we often become disillusioned by it. We can find ourselves thinking, saying and doing all that is not really necessary nor important as it comes to living a life with passion and purpose.
We try to create a sense of self-importance by validating our beliefs in behaviors through external recognition. This can pull us away from living with integrity and congruently with we value and our why.
We are important but perhaps not as important as we think. When we appreciate this we can start responding to life in an authentic manner. Humbly expressing ourselves more truly. We become more of positive value in others’ lives and in doing create more positive change in our own. This episode explores these thoughts. Enjoy!
