"The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt." Sylvia Plath
When we start to question ourselves, our entire world starts to fall apart. That's a pretty powerful statement, but if we truly dive into the after effects of what happens when doubt crawls into our lives, it really does occur.
We can even take it a step further in regard to chasing dreams. Since the playing field is even more competitive, and doubt comes into our minds, that's when it actually does ruin everything or seems to put a total stop to everything we've ever wanted in this life.
Dreams are one of the toughest things to follow because they demand your absolute best. But despite them being difficult, they bring something out in you that causes you to grow and rise to the challenge every single time if you are willing. When you decide to chase your dreams, they will ask the world from you but give you the world and more back.
If you ever really listen to someone talking about their dreams who truly believes in themselves, you get this body sense that's hard to explain. You know that despite the fact that they don't have it all figured out, they will somehow achieve it.
But when you listen to someone who is talking about their passions, and you get a sense that they are slightly on edge about it all, you can be pretty sure that they will never achieve what they set out to do. It's not that you are rooting against them, but it's that you know dreams take everything and giving it less than that, well, it just won't work out in any way.
Devote your life to what is possible for you. Devote your life to your dreams. Without your dreams, you are just functioning in a place of being comfortable. That's a nice place, but nothing really grows there.
Give it a go. Anything could happen.
