EXACTLY^!!!!!
i have been picking up several courses lately and it's very easy to tell that i am the most amateur of the group.
however if my only concern is to produce something beautiful which will make me the admiration of others, then where is the joy is learning? i would probably be stressed/give up quickly because i would be so discouraged by my slow progress!
ultimately, i am my greatest mental barrier.
if i can overcome how i see myself, then i need not fear failure or how others look at me.
don't be afraid to try something new today(: enjoy the process!
