“It’s not about the how; it’s about having the belief in yourself to stick to it, keep practicing, celebrate your small victories and pick yourself up from the failures.”
- Shinah
So many creatives in the world share the same fears, questions, and doubts.
And in this episode, I explore them through the story of another calligraphy creative — and share the advice that will help you push past your fears!
You’ll always be able to come up with reasons to hold off on chasing your dreams. It’s up to you to choose whether you’re going to let the fear take the wheel... or move through it.
It can be easy to fall into the trap of asking yourself if things are a “waste” of time or effort. It’s important to remember if you’re doing something you LOVE, it’s never a waste — you learn and grow from every experience that you have!
The last year has been a scary time. The pandemic pushed doubts and fears to the forefront of people’s minds — but it had a silver lining. During a period when the whole world slowed down, smart creatives took the time to make a valuable investment in themselves.
Taking the time to work on your craft and build your foundation is a great way to grow not only your skills — but your confidence, too.
And with the demand for creatives back and stronger than ever, you won’t want to waste a single minute!
