“Flowers don’t worry about how they’re going to bloom. They just open up and turn toward the light and that makes them beautiful.” – Jim Carrey⠀

As we get closer and closer to walking in our purpose and path, there is an obstacle at every level, that may appear different but is often rooted in the same weakness.⠀
⠀
At the beginning of my self and career discovery journey, Imposter syndrome would paralyze me and my creativity (and it still tries to sometimes). But my mantra of ” just start” helps wheel me over that hump. But now I have a new problem. A fear of giving up my best and only shot.⠀
⠀
Words of a past acting teacher ring in my head, your first project will never be your best, it won’t be the one that takes you to the big show. I don’t share it often but I enjoy storyboarding and writing scripts. But I am so attached to each one and I so deeply want them all to be seen by the world and to get national recognition. But I feel as though I have to sacrifice one idea, like some crazy literary Hunger games.⠀
But it all boils down to faith and believing in the gifts and leadership my God provides for me. But it’s much easier said poetically than done.⠀

Can anyone relate? Do you have a project that you don’t want to fizzle away, too? How did you make the decision to release yourself to make the attempt?⠀
