You are unique

Nightly check-in with Samira

Hey my friend, I hope you are doing well and life is treating you well. As you know I traveled for work this week. Every time I used to travel for work I was very self- aware to put on the mask of a strong, smart and successful woman, in conferences or even at work. But my friend, this time was different. I went on, putting on my own face, and embracing my own uniqueness. My friend, I felt so happy and comfortable and I think people connected with me better. Let me tell you a secret. And I think it is secret we all carry one way or the other. I used to ( am still to lesser extent) compare myself with others, was very self conscious about how better some people were than me in some aspects of life and work and that made me a little anxious, leading to me desiring to sink and disappear from some spaces I attended, unless I put the mask on. But recently, my friend, I have realized that I am unique, like you are unique, and everyone of us carry our own unique life story, values and light. Because I am unique, I am now realizing that I will have my own unique achievements that is different than yours or others. That has made me more confident about me and has created a motivation to even want to explore and manifest that uniqueness better. This week at a work dinner, for the first time ever, I revealed me, the true me, all my dreams and visions ( no matter how odd they are) for a colleague of mine. I was so happy and confident, coming from the space of as if: As if I have already achieved them. You know what happened my friend? The colleague and friend whom I had dinner with, asked me how he could help me with my vision at the end of dinner? Isn’t that amazing my friend? Never happened to me before. I think coming from a place of authenticity and uniqueness resonates with people and more doors open to you. This is now a sign for me and a lesson to keep moving forward that. I wanted to share it with you too, hoping it will help you too. Okay, I have to go now. Talk to you later.
