Believing In YOU

Lets face it. What is most important? Your life or your fears. Lets be honest and to the point. Ok so we all know it’s your life. Your fears you have to face and you have to face them because with fears in your life you also have doubts and insecurities, whether it’s about your body, your skills or just about the people you hang around with. You HAVE to face them and you HAVE to let them go. They are fake. If you know you can do something about it then DO IT. Really. What’s stopping you?
This weekend I lost 2 close friends. I loved them with all my heart. I remember talking to them about their deepest feelings and how they feel about certain things in their lives and they had them too. The doubts. The fears. Now look where they are. Now look what their families have to go through… their friends and partners. Turmoil.
A problem shared is a problem halved.. or even taken away.
Trust in your abilities and trust in your friends to tell you the truth. Trust the friends that speak the truth.
I struggled with confidence for years and still now I get anxiety to a point. Especially if I’m not prepared. That’s when it really happens. You HAVE to be prepared (rehearsed) because having doubt about a live performance will always certainly make it go wrong or leave you feeling less confident about your abilities. It’s not worth it.. and you know why?? Because it’s creates fear and the worst type of fear. Fear in yourself. That’s when you start to get bigger problems because you hide them with excuses and your creative flow stops.
Do not compare yourself with others either. IF you compare you also put yourself down because you will believe that people are better than you or they have more talent. It is not true. Your path is always the path you should be on. There will always be other ways that YOU are equally talented and amazing at your chosen art form.
I was bullied for 4 years through school and I managed to keep it quiet for some time but it really got to me. At one point I was thinking very dark and I started to fall into that place where it would have been very difficult to ever get out. If I got out at all.
This weekend I saw how fragile life was again. How sharing your love and trust in friends can help. How BELIEVING IN YOU is important at WHATEVER that may be!!
Maybe you want to make hats.. maybe you want to create a new style of music or piece of art OR run down the road dressed as a monkey screaming “I’m a monkey and I love being a monkey” The point is you are living ALL your possibilities. When you open more possibilities more doors open. Those doors open your mind and your confidence and other possibilities you never even knew existed. SO GO FOR IT!!!
Live your life!! Surround yourself with friends that love you for who you are and ENJOY YOUR GIFT!!
.. and if you want to run down the road dressed as a monkey then oooh ooh aaaah aaaaah to you!
