The Hidden Expenses of Making Sure Everyone Sees You

Seeking your solution to be seen means expenses to keep up the ruse, popularity to appear needed and noticed.

The ruse economy is expensive. Financially, emotionally, spiritually. You're funding a version of yourself that requires constant maintenance, constant visibility, constant validation.

If people don't see me, I don't matter.

If people only see the performance, they never know you.

Mental foundation means eliminating the pressure to become something you're not. It starts with being comfortable with who you are. Jesus Christ didn't call you to be seen by everyone. He called you to be known by Him.

Disruption means something different is introduced. Real disruption doesn't beg for attention. It commands it by being undeniably useful.

What expenses are you paying to keep up a version of yourself that exhausts you?
