And yet, you procrastinate. Maybe this has been going on for a year, or even several years.
Why?
For many people, it’s a fear of making that emotional leap to put themselves out there for the world to see. They think their life story is not interesting, or they worry their expertise will be mocked.
The truth is, everyone has a story to tell, expertise to share, and an audience that wants to hear from them. It may not be a worldwide audience, but there are people with a passion for your story. It could be family, friends, colleagues, clients, prospects—or a niche audience that shares your perspective and can benefit from your experiences.
You may find the inspiration you need from this video post by Wayne Dyer, a well-known self-help author and motivational speaker. As Wayne presents, we all have “music” inside of us. Let that music out so the important people in your life—and perhaps the entire world—can share in your unique perspective.
Another source of inspiration may come from this Today show interview with Christie Brinkley. She discusses the emotional process of writing a book and hopes her experience will inspire others to find silver linings in life’s difficult moments.
For your book idea, it may just be a case of summoning up the courage to “jump off that diving board” and feel the exhilaration of singing your song.
Why not do it—just for you!
