As a sensitive INFJ for most of my life I had no desire to express who I truly was. At the time I believed that I did not have anything of real value to share. Upon reflection I came to realize that I was very afraid to put myself “Out There” on the line.
It is a very scary place to step outside of our comfort zone. How many sensitive and non-sensitive alike, settle for a life of obscurity? Sometimes a very safe place to reside is also a great place to suffocate.
After many years of personal growth, I took a huge risk and left everything I knew behind me. Even though I was getting many of my needs met there was still a whole in my soul that needed filling.
Being out of my “comfort” zone was a very scary place for awhile. It felt like I had crawled under a rock for what seemed like years. After processing what I was truly meant to put forth in life a story came to me. I wrote it out and lo and behold I gave birth to a novel.
It is called “Lotus Petal” and it is a spiritual parable that will help you to overcome your fear of death. It is being publish by Persona Publishing. I will keep you posted as to when it is on the market.
The process I followed for my development is available to all who care to seek their inner truth. A great resource is Success University. You will find a link to it in the right menu under the blogroll. There you can grab a free copy of “Think and Grow Rich” by Napolean Hill. Following these principals will lead to fulfillment physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
I’m an iNFJ too. I’m *really* sensitive and use jokes to cover up my easily penetrated, very soft exterior. Enjoying the site.
