Playing Big = Following The Voice, the one that lives inside my heart rather than the twelve (or sometimes twelve hundred. ) in my head.

Hi Christine, That is one of my favorite quotes by Marianne Williamson. Thank you for sharing it! My favorite line from your post is, “Playing Big can mean feeling one of your typically self-defeating emotional reactions coming on – and shifting it in the moment to continue your momentum.” Great examples here and very motivating! Thanks!

Hi Christine,
Love you and love Marianne!

For a while, I had a big job and I just showed up. I did what I needed to do every day, but it wasn’t what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Now I’m writing and totally happy whether putting in a 14 hour day, or a 3 hour day.

Thanks so much Christine for your words of wisdom. I can relate to those who feel they don’t have much to offer. Over the last several weeks I have been realizing that what I have to offer may not look exactly like I thought it would, but it is still valuable.

Your words have bolstered my current efforts to put myself more in the spotlight and shine in new ways. You and others will be seeing **HUGE** changes on my website in the next few weeks as I step into my spotlight.

Thanks for your encouragement!

Thank you for this post! I thought it meant one thing to me, and then later, it resonated in a different way!
I started a blog, imperfectly. It’s about trying to eat sustainably on a budget. I had all the reasons not to do it, such as: it’s not all techie and cool on its own domain, I don’t know everything, what works for me may not work for someone who believes differently, etc. But, I decided to do it anyway, because I thought there might be one person who could relate. And the perfect topic came up on another site, so I commented on it. So, playing big.
Then I got some criticism on my comment! And that was scary to have people disagree with me. So I turned it into a blog post. I admitted where I could have done better, and I’m hoping someone can relate to that. So again, playing big.
I thought you would like to know I have written down another quote from you, I think using the Marianne Williamson theme before:
“Yes, it takes some self-esteem to believe that you even have anything worth sharing. But of course you do. Don’t waste your time waiting for the world to agree that you do. It’s all service. You don’t know what random person in an empty lobby somewhere is going to benefit from your openness. So, serve. Share. You’re not alone. Get bigger. Shine anyway.”
Just wanted to say thanks, you’ve been helpful in a lot of different ways to me.

I am so glad you wrote about this Christine, I think about this topic a lot and I’ve gotten to the same place with it.

Sometimes playing big is completely breaking down in tears the night before because it feels so hard. And then getting up in the morning, finding a new angle and getting to it.

I also love this:
“Playing Big can mean anything from giving my full attention to my husband as he’s sharing something..”

So often in the evenings I’m distracted and working when my sweetie comes home–playing big would absolutely be focusing on her and putting my iphone down.

Thanks for the response Christine.

The funny thing about mentioning that you have to do it is that it’s exactly what happened to me. I had this blog in mind for long while until one day I just decided, whatever, I’m just doing it.

And now I have something to be really proud of.

I think for me “playing big” might mean a willingness to “cut the cord” on things that–while not being bad for me–are also keeping me from living the life I want.
