Do you hide the scars of your past experiences from others? I was taught early on that you bury the pain, humiliation and other impacts from your conflicts and experiences that end in failure. I was taught to put on a confident face, a mask that covers up the inner turmoil in public and even facing oneself in the mirror. You move on. You soon can’t connect with others. Sometimes you blame them for their lack of caring. Isolation disconnects you from others. They want to see scars to realize you are with them instead of above them. Show your human-ness to bring others closer, building bridges to watch you soar. Success begins with vulnerability and courage.
“Scars from the past connect us with others now to build trust.” ~ Joe Dutkiewicz
