We all dream so much, have many ideas and plans. I too dream a lot but when it comes to putting them into reality, -I procrastinate, am filled with fear and so on and on.
The reason is very simple. Along with my dreams I also give birth to very high expectations. Expectations shatter my confidence, then rises the thought that I'm not good enough and finally I lock up my dreams within my heart.
Nowadays I try to let go of my expectations, only then I can create without fear. Still, some days it is hard but I know nothing lasts forever, be it good or bad. So I try to embrace the good days and create as much as I can on such days.
How is it for you? Everyone has good and bad days. What affects you in not being creative?
