How often do you know what you want but still hold yourself back?

Because doubts have crept in.

For years, I've wanted to do the very thing that brings me joy and fills me up. But I've allowed doubts and naysayers to sway me off my path.

Here's something I'm reminding myself today. And perhaps it's a reminder you need, too.

You're allowed to make mistakes. It doesn't have to be perfect.
You're allowed to try different things. You will find your way.

Put in the reps for the person you'll be five years from now.

She'll get better at "the thing" because of the reps you're putting in today.

Show up imperfectly. But show up.

Let yourself be visible.
