We all have that voice in our head 💭 that says: You can’t do it. You’ll never be good enough. You’re going to fail. 🙍 This voice taunts you whenever you set a goal. It criticizes you when life gets difficult. Self-doubt is greedy. When it’s loose, it devours your confidence and steals happiness from your heart. In return, it leaves you with only fear and insecurity. This happened to me over the past weeks. What I learned is that If I wanted to believe in myself, I needed to face my self-doubt. 🙋 Now I no longer tell myself, “I’ll never be a good enough artist.” Instead, I ask myself, “What can I do to become better?” And I take baby steps. 👣 Sure, something may go wrong. But if you never try, you’re losing an opportunity to improve your life. 💕 Are you willing to risk that instead?
