I once heard the most valuable treasure isn’t in a museum. It isn’t in a bank or a vault or a safe somewhere.

The most valuable treasures in the world are buried in the graveyard. It’s where some of the best ideas, most innovative solutions, and most insightful perspectives are buried because they were never shared.

This week is about breaking free from whatever may be holding you back. I want you to be inspired, even ignited in your mission to share a powerful message with people who need to hear what you have to say.

It can be intimidating, even scary to share a new idea. What if people don’t like it? What if someone even hates it and tells you they hate it?

So what? If you feel a message burning in your body that you know can help someone have a better life, then you have a tremendous responsibility to share that message.

Your message may end up being what saves a couple’s marriage or an entrepreneur’s business or a loved one’s life.

One of the most selfish acts is not sharing ideas we know have potential. Let your audience decide who needs to hear your message. It’s your job to make sure your message doesn’t become just another piece of buried treasure.
