To see and be seen

When I read this quote, I thought;
Yes!!!..... do we want to be seen or do we want to be remembered?
And if we want to be seen for who we really are, then people must want to remember us in a good way.
And how do people remember us well? By being ourselves. By being there, without having to stand out.
Perhaps some will say, yes, but this is simply who I am. I am someone who is always in the spotlight, always switched on, never minces words, and is not shy.
Is that really correct? Is that really true?
Think about it for a moment: why am I always in the foreground?
Is that because I am just like that?
Or is that because I resolved in the past that no one would walk all over me again.
Or have I resolved never to be shy again and gone overboard, so that people at least see me?
You don't have to give an answer, you don't have to justify yourself to others, but, test yourself;
Can I keep quiet for one evening in company, ask questions of others, and just listen?
And these questions for people who are silent;
Do I dare to ask others questions, do I dare to show myself, do people know who I am?
And how can we be ourselves if we never truly stop to reflect on who we really are?
You can decide who you want to be, what image you want to project to the world, but that is still not who you really are.
If this has got you thinking, and you want to reflect on who you really are, what you are capable of, whether you need to change something about yourself, and what you truly want for your future—and this is possible even if you are already 60—then I would like to invite you to call me or send me a message.
I will then put everything in order together with you, and take a truly honest look at who you are and what mark you are meant to leave on this world.
Because ....you are loved and made to love.
P.S. You do not have to pay anything for this conversation and any follow-up conversations.
