Sacred Cow Tipping Day #30

Have you ever put off doing something because you’ve imagined that you aren’t “good enough”, that people will laugh at you or that what you have to offer needs to fit in with society’s definition of what is acceptable?

Somehow I doubt that you and I are the only ones who have felt that way. So I have decided to begin the countdown with some very special Mama Sacred Cows. These bovines sneak around behind the scenes supporting the premise that our worth and value is determined by something outside of us.

Think of all the Baby Sacred Cows that are beholden to that premise:

• “The clothes make the man”
• “Mother knows best”
• “Make your Papa proud of you”
• “Nice guys finish last”
• “Good girls don’t act that way”

I could go on listing them for hours. To find their hoofprints all you have to do is look in the news, watch TV, talk to your friends and family or go to the store. They are literally everywhere, so let’s round them up in basic groups and take them down as efficiently as possible, shall we?

Day 30 -

“Approval from the outside world is more important than inner direction.”

I know that you know at least one other person that would really like to tip this Sacred Cow. Do us all a favor and drop them a line – playing only take 5-10 minutes and it’s totally free of charge.
