So What If Everyone Is Watching (Reading)…

Sometimes I wake up in the morning and don't want to write.  I'm not sure what to say.  Or I have too many thoughts and don't know which one to choose to write about.  Or how to phrase what I really want to say.  Or I'm feeling lazy.  Or….a million other things.  

Lots of times it comes down to fear:  I'm just afraid that what I write won't come out perfectly.  And that ultimately, not being 'perfect' leaves it (and me) open & vulnerable to criticism & judgment. 

Someone will always be there to make some sort of judgment, whether that be a good one or a bad one.  But the worst critic of all is always myself.  Isn't that usually the case for everyone?  

I fight this urge not to write each day by telling myself a bunch of stuff:

~It doesn't really matter what others think.

~It's not the end of the world if something is not perfect.  

~It's ok if I'm not perfect either.  

~At least I'm out there trying.  

~Because if you're not taking some risks, there will never be any rewards.

My lesson of the day:  With great risk, comes great reward.  And even if those aren't my words, I can use them perfectly EveryDay to continue to write & inspire myself & others.  Happy Friday!
