Thinking Thoughts About Things

"Just be yourself, and everything will work out."What if your true self is a coward? Or painfully introverted? What if your true self wastes your talents because it's too scared to take risks?I think the better motto is "Fake it until you make it." Sometimes your true self sucks. My true self would never sell my work online or in local shops. My true self would NEVER apply to vend at a three day con with thousands of attendees. Shoot, my true self would never even talk to anyone. But I've always had so many ideas bursting at the seams. I reached a point where I was tired of holding myself back- I was tired of just settling and being myself. So, I constantly push to be outside of my comfort zone. I work at my talents. I fight against my weaknesses. I work to improve and grow. I want to grow beyond my natural self. Maybe someday I'll Become whatever self I'm striving after.
