The downside to being passionate about something.
I was once reminded, as a person who cares passionately about most things I do, that We All Have an Eternity. Not everyone is going to wake up tomorrow, or even in this lifetime.
You can be yourself and not put your career at risk.
I'm here to tell you that your life is not at risk in you embodying the magnetic and influential presence of a fully expressed woman at the office. But, your ability to make a powerful impact on the world definitely is.
You are worth it.
Self worth means you have the capacity for self recognition. It means you see yourself for who you actually are: brilliant and divine. It means you put value on how you show up in the world. On your time. On your attention. On what you have to offer the world as a unique and special entity that could only possibly ever come from you.
