Successful Exterior & Troubled Interior

It is interesting how, in many ways, we all lead a double life.  On one side is the public self that we show to others, and then there is the self that is who we really are.  In my case, while I try to project a sense of calm and successul on the outside, I am actually stressed out and troubled on the inside, worried about the future and worred about whether I will succeed or fail.

And what is really interesting is that you can be authentic in both realms, and still have to lives.  This is done simply by limiting what you say publicly, while not lying.  Omission of the unpleasent truths, while you play up the pleasent or beneficial ones.

In this blog I think I shall be showing some of that vulnerable underbelly that I normally keep hidden away.  An experiment in being open.  An experiment in whether people will like and respect you even when you are not perfect.
