I have personally experienced this being shy thing and not entirely putting out and using everything I have in me into my every day life. It’s a constant struggle trying to strike a balance between striding humbly in this world and embracing your God given talents and simply exploring your interests . My take on this , take this stepping up and out thing day by day . Find the good in and around you . Remember , you never lose . It’s either you win or call it a lesson learned . Believe in your good and embrace it . You are magic , believe in your magic , go on – step up and out into the world confident in who you are .
The power which our minds have over us is far greater than we can ever believe , merely because we are such doubt filled beings. What you subconsciously peak to yourself you speak into your life. What you speak daily can either bring you down or lift you up to greater heights , bringing you closer to realizing your true being . This is why I say that the ability of being ( entirely you ) & believing in your being , there’s power in that !
