Thanks for your excellent post! Your last 2 lines say it all! “The point is not to chase public approval driven by ego, but to surrender to fear, make it your ally, stay in the present moment, and realize the past and future don’t count. Knowing you are sharing a gift and all you can do is your best is a very powerful truth.”
I developed a method of transforming stage fright and fear of public speaking by guiding people to connect with their fear in front of groups. Once high achievers learn it is OK to be real with their emotions in front of others, they feel free to be who they are and can speak with the same passion the express in their lives.
Thanks for supporting this core concept. I have written much more about this approach at my website http://www.self-expression.com and Speaking Freely Blog at http://www.self-expression.com/speaking-freely/ . I invite you and your readers to visit if interested.
