You can do the scary thing. The thing you’ve wanted to do for so long. The thing you’ve avoided with all your might. You may find yourself shaking with adrenaline and power and the ache that lies right beneath the surface. You can do it. It might not change anything. It does not mean the fear or the ache will disappear. Pay attention. Feel the extra space inside, the welcome emptiness of release, the truth of your story heard and held. The knowledge that once again, you’ve shown yourself that you can do the scary things. Your will to be true to your art can win over anxiety. Pain can transform into purpose. Make no mistake. You are here for this.
