Be Your Own Rockstar

when we first got here.

How many of us steal away moments where we tell ourselves that we could do a better job then those we see executing on the same thing? The shoulda, coulda, wouldas are tailspins. Nearing the end of the year, it’s natural for everyone to stop and take stock of where they are, what they are doing and where they want to be calendar year down the line. I’ve chickened on this myself over the past year. Comfort zones really do insulate you.

A lot of the people are go-to contacts simply because they gift themselves authority. Forgive the fluff and the all round hugs, but there’s potential in all of us to be our own founts of knowledge. Authorities on fashion, music, the Arts, science and whatever you’re having yourself. All it requires is starting to be an authority on something. Being a bedroom rockstar and taking it outside.

    I think every one of us will get into a stalemate at some point. We ask questions whose answers can only be found in our hands. We know what to do, we just gotta grab the reins and go!

    I’ve been thinking pretty much the same thing lately!

    You’re absolutely spot on Alexia.
    Fear of failure or of being wrong is a huge problem for people. People really need to get over that fear of failing.
    Failures should be embraced and owned (to learn from them) and then let slide away.

    If you have no previous record then you have nothing to lose so nothing to fear. I’m with Alexia in saying go for it.
    Learn as you go and and remember that all the “authorities” out there sit on the loo same as you.
