Show & Tell
When you are confident about something, you want to show it off. When you really like someone, you tell people about the experiences you had with them and how awesome they are. When you really enjoyed the service or food at a particular business, you recommend that restaurant to other people.
When you really: believe, trust, have faith in, enjoy, like doing, gives pleasure, in something, someone, or someplace; you will show and tell.
You will talk about it. You will bring it up as soon as you have an opportunity. You refer it so others can have the same experience.
What are areas that should be show and tell but aren’t? We all have areas in our lives we do not SHOW and TELL. Why is that? We are ashamed of the areas we do not want to talk about. Or we are indifferent. You do or talk about what you really give importance to.
Here are some areas where I see a lack of ‘Show and Tell’ whether that is from societal taboo or self shame, it would do us good to talk more about our issues:
Finance: whether it is debt, how much we make at work, our house value. We tend not to involve others into the discussion of personal finance. We feel ashamed, relative to our peer group, about how much we make or what kind of job we are doing because we don’t make as much as this person.
Religion: speaking about what you believe in. Proselytizing. Evangelizing. Whatever you want to call it. There is a definite hush by the public, who are made up by people, to talk about their faith, their religion, their God, Gods – or non-existence of god.
In both cases, all the self shame comes from the thoughts that others are judging us. We think and not do because we believe people will not be your friend or think lower of you if they ‘really’ knew what you were doing.
