When it’s time to create something new, I must admit…it’s scary. But that’s because I’m not familiar with it. And of course, complacency kills. Comfort kills creativity.
Look, I’ll be honest. This new thing I’m leaning into, I started and stopped several times. All because I was okay with feeling like I don’t deserve it. But something changed this year. A feeling changed. I began to work hard on creating something I stopped doing years ago. I began to create again. This time, I wasn’t afraid to show what I created.
And I’m scared.
But, as my mom would say…”you can be scared. But do it anyway.” I later found out that’s the definition of courage.
So here’s to all the courageous creatives out here doing scary shit.
Keep going.
