Several times over the years people have rejected or told me not to self promote. I admit less in recent times. But I struggled with these comments because as the blog sphere has risen, so has the idea in my head that hundreds/ millions of people are promoting themselves with opinions and ideas. Hundreds of Christian have written books with their pictures on them, even when writting about my friend Jesus. Is that self promotion?
You see as a person with Aspergers(ASD) I find it really hard to self promote, I used to really struggle at interviews, talking one to one making eye contact was really uncomfortable for me, but I managed it somehow.
But I still have an issue with what self promotion actually means, because I never in my whole life felt, I successfully showed who I really am, to anyone who did not already know me.
My heart was to promote Jesus and what he was doing in my life then and what he is doing now.
Self promotion requires that a person can stand up for themselves and fight for something adequately, and yet I cannot do that if I am really honest.
How am I to achieve the dreams that Papa placed in my heart. I have dreams but sometimes they have be squashed or made less by others, but I have relentlessly hung onto them until Papa said let them go.
I would go with what I felt was Papa's heart at the time, and never want me,I,myself to be the focus. It was always Jesus and I never ever understood what people were on about when they said this and they never explained or tried to give me any direction.
So What is Self Promotion? Can anyone tell me.
