Most of the barriers are in your own head.
It is so easy for us to talk ourselves out of doing those things we dream of, new things, hard things, exciting things. A lot of what stands in our way is ourselves - our fear, our lack of belief in our own abilities, our inertia. Yes, there are times where time or money may be big barriers. But way too often we find excuses because doing something new is scary and we might fail.
The thing to ask yourself is: will you be more upset that you didn't try than that you failed?
You are an artist. Your art has value because it is an expression of you. And just as with the rest of life, not everyone will like it, but that doesn't take anything away from who you are.

ReplyDeleteYes, procrastination is so much easier than just starting sometimes!
