A week or so ago I read a guest post on Gracie’s blog. The guest poster, Caitlin (great name!), said:
“Think about what you love. Take away the fear of being judged, of failing and the uncertainty of what the result will be. Take away the audience, your peers and the idea of facing adversity.
What are you left with?
Start there. Strip it down and get back to basics. You and that thing you love? Are awesome together. The more you practice and pursue, the less you’ll even think about those things you took away. Sure the audience will come back. Peers will start to pop up. Some may even judge. But you followed your gut, you believed in yourself and you will then know having that power means more than any negative thought, word or deed that could be thrown your way.”
Well, guess what? Rather than think through every possible fear, I’m following that advice this week. Maybe nothing will come out of it. Or maybe this one small step will become the giant leap I’ve been waiting for.
Go get ’em mama.
I think this is a great message!! Very inspirational! I hope you have an amazing week!
Brilliant advice. 🙂
