\"phony\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is actually a quote from Seinfeld<\/em>‘s Jerry in the episode, ‘The Mango’… obviously he wasn’t talking about me though, he was talking about Meryl Streep. But whatever, that’s not important.<\/p>\n

We all feel like phony baloneys<\/h3>\n

I pontificate weekly about craft, community and connection<\/strong>… but, at times, it feels fake<\/strong>. The truth is, I’m not yet confident enough in my own craft to call myself a writer (if someone asks me what I do I say independent Web Consultant), I have a secret scorn for humanity and I often feel alone and disconnected from the world.<\/p>\n

So what do I really know about craft, community or connection?<\/p>\n

Putting limits on my Self<\/h3>\n

I’ve become aware that calling my Self a phony is my way of limiting my Self and my ability to enjoy all the love, joy and abundance I am capable of (and more importantly, deserving of) experiencing. It’s just that sometimes I can’t let go of the story that I am fundamentally flawed and ultimately not worthy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Most of us tell our Self this story — we are all phony baloneys fooling the world into loving us.<\/p>\n

Oh that Tara Joyce, she’s such a wizard<\/h3>\n

Being conscious of the story and the self-imposed limits it creates, I have now started to work positively with it. When I start in on my “you’re such a phony baloney” bit, I now see it for what it is, a story that I use to limit my Self<\/strong>, rather than a truth I need to get hip to. (Yes, I know the 60’s are calling and\u00a0 they want their lingo back;)<\/p>\n

There is nothing wrong with me and the sooner I stop telling my Self there is, the sooner I can embrace my own genius and work fully in it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I want to be the most wicked me I can be. I want to be a wizard. Like Einstein. And that’s no baloney.<\/p>\n
