Tony Robbins says “stay in your head your dead”. I’ve spoken about it before.

We are social beings in a social world. I consider myself an introvert, someone who recharges in more private settings. That’s different than hiding from the world though. We were made to share life with each other and share our gifts to improve each others’ existence. When we lose sight of that, when we retreat into our own shell, it can become a hell of anxiety, depression and self-judgment. One of the best medicines is maintaining strong relationships, which I have also heard from many sources and feels intuitively true, promotes longevity.

We might not realize it when comparing ourselves to a fantasy version of who we “should or could be”, or Instagram models or celebrities, but we each have something unique and incredible to offer the world. We all win when we poke out of the shell. Be yourself one day at a time. Your best self. They deserve to come out today.
