What Lies Within Us

I had the pleasure of hearing the great speaker Byron Embry today.
Byron talked about what makes a speaker great. 
The main thing that I got out of his talk was that you can have the best story or content in the world. However, if the message doesn't come from your heart, your audience will never hear it.

This is like life. We can talk and talk and talk. However, if we don't connect with others on a deeper, more emotional level, our message will not be heard.

His comments reminded me of a great quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson;
"What lies behind us
and what lies before us
are tiny matters
compared to
what lies within us."

Everything that we need to know is already within us.  Do you have enough courage to share that knowledge on an emotional level with an important person in your life?
