Lose your fear

“The one thing that you have that nobody else has is you. Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write and draw and build and play and dance and live as only you can.”   Neil Gaiam

I love this quote!  There IS no wrong, so lose your fear of being wrong and do it!  

 

When I first decided I wanted to get in touch with my creative side, I didn't know where to start, and then I didn't want to do it wrong.  The perfectionist in me reared its ugly head and told me I wasn't creative - that nothing I did would be good enough.   The realist in me got busy and found me a quote - "To be creative, you must lose your fear of being wrong."  

So, a year later, am I an artist? a writer? a poet? Yes, I am - as only I can be!  Do I measure up to the likes of Monet, Dickens, Frost?  No, and I don't want to.  Am I having fun?  Absolutely!  So if putting your work out there gives you a moment's pause, stop comparing yourself to Monet. You are YOU, and your creation is a part of YOU.  It is wonderful - just like you are!
