Now I believe in magic

from Soft Power Project · host Sherry Fang

I didn't force the Soft Power Summit into existence. I let it happen. And for the first time in my life, I built something just for me, not for the validation.Not long after I started the Soft Power Project, I pictured this event while lying in bed at the lowest point I'd ever been: pushed out, publicly demoted, done performing for a world that only wanted to hear about achievements. A week ago it was real, a room in New York full of women I'd only known through a screen, finally connecting heart to heart.The hardest part was trusting it. My old self kept pulling me back, asking how I could possibly not control every detail. I had to learn to let it flow anyway.I'm still learning what it means to do something for myself. But I can tell you it felt like magic, and I think it was.If you've ever held a vision you couldn't quite explain, this is your invitation to do one thing for you. Not for the numbers. Not for the likes. Just for you.0:00 - The Magic of Manifestation3:00 - The Birth of the Soft Power Project6:05 - Planning the Soft Power Summit8:45 - Overcoming Challenges and Embracing Flow11:54 - Celebrating Age and Connection14:47 - Reflections and Future AspirationsMentioned in this episode:Butter Be Kind: https://butterbekind.com/#SoftPowerProject #SoftPower #Manifestation #SelfDiscovery #WomenEmpowermentLeave a comment and share your thoughts: https://open.firstory.me/user/cm5etbvm00a1i01sl6k6h99de/commentsYoutubeInstagramWould you like to share your life stories?Please fill out this form.

Barnum.Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”).
