You know every time I hear somebody trying to give me advice, whilst I do appreciate everything that they’re trying to say, I can't help but remember something that one of my friends once used to say. I remember him saying “never take advice from somebody who would never take her own advice”.
I'm only thinking about this at the moment because I find myself in a position where the advice that I have once shared on this platform in and amongst other places would very much come in handy right about now, I seem to find nothing but excuses that allow me to dismiss myself from the challenge that I am failing to overcome.
With that being said I recall once writing about dismissing yourself from the total outcome. I'm referring to the projects that we as creators would invest ourselves in, in the hope that they will one day become so great that it will be shared with the entire world and we would be awarded with a status of mastery over our given field.
As much as I believe in my own words, especially when I read back on them, I'm in a moment where I'm finding it difficult not to let go of the final outcome. I am trying to do what I am trying to do because I am trying to provide for my family, yes I want to be famous, but at the same time this responsibility of mine rests heavily on my shoulders. With that being said I'm finding it challenging at the moment to dismiss myself from the final outcome.
I'm sure with enough practice I'm going to be able to nail it one day, it's just a right now I'm finding it difficult and as always it's been easier said than done.
