Well Worth it!

I sat last night at home catching up on emails and news. I started reading Beth's blog and the comments on the survey. In case you haven't read-the survey is on insecurity. It was amazing how many people battle insecurity (yes, I am one of them) and how many of them are insecure when around other women. Why do we do that to each other? Or ourselves? Compare ourselves or automatically feel inferior? Feel like we don't measure up or aren't good enough when we look at one another. And that is before we get to know the person. One look and we feel that we don't measure up. What lies!
I get to see this everyday at work as I work with 150 women. Some days it screams around me. Some days it makes me run and hide. I find myself battling with it as I interact with them...

And then along comes one that for a moment I drop my guard and a friendship begins. One that grows into a friendship that is so valuable that words can't describe. Why, because that one moment I decided to risk the insecurities of my life, the things that kept me from reaching out. I decided to try to step past them and see what happens. And it was well worth it!!

So how about you? Would you take a risk? Forget the "I don't measure up, they are better" thoughts and take that step...... it is worth it!
