Last summer I attended Quitter Conf with 200 other people pursuing their dreams. The host, Jon Acuff, challenged us, “Give yourself permission today to be your secret self.”
Just for the day. Just at the conference. Let yourself be the person you deeply wish you were.
What would you be? What would you be like? We all have this desire inside us of what we ultimately want to be, but we don’t show it.
Whatever the reason is (and there always is one), something keeps us from letting that desire transcend from our secret-self to our true-self.
When you want to be an artist and your dad reminds you “You can’t make any money doing that.”
