"Now, I voluntarily speak and even sing because my focus is no longer on myself, but how to serve"

I was the shy girl in the back of the class room, papers shaking in my hand, as I counted how many students were left to get up and deliver a mandatory presentation-- always the last to go. 
Now, I voluntarily speak and even sing because my focus is no longer on myself, but how to serve. My acknowledgment that everything I do is a co-creation allows me to remain humble and secure.
