Be Yourself

Does the tension build up in your stomach or do you begin sweating while standing still? Or, when all you need to do is lift the pencil, it feels like it's a mile away. Does your pencil feel like it weighs 1,000 pounds once you clasp your fingers around it?
Then, you start to hear comments like:
"Don't bother."
"This is going to suck."
"What would they think of this?"
"I'm going to be judged."
"I'm an imposter."
Stop
In this moment, let me be the voice you hear-right here, right now.
If it makes you happy, do it. If it is your passion, do it. If you’re new or starting out, it might not be great or perfect, do it. But, it is yours and only yours. It is unique to you and the more you do what you love, the more skilled you will become. But you need to do it.
We have too much negativity in this world right now and we shouldn't add to it by being less than positive with ourselves. Be who you want to be, and don't let anybody stop you-not your friends, family, strangers, and DEFINITELY not yourself.
