“Moments when we remove these self-imposed limits on what we’re “allowed” to do—that’s where our souls are the most free.” 👏👏
YES! I so relate to this. It wasn’t until I acknowledged that I deserve to write did I start honoring that. A year later and I’m still working on it but I have come so far!
And a 12:30 mile is just as amazing as an 8:00. A mile is a mile!
Thanks for this. You have inspired me to be bad at writing fiction, something I gave up on 25 years ago when my nonfiction proved to be more financially sustaining!
I love to hear this! I've been trying more often to be bad at writing poetry, and it's opened up new ways of thinking and writing for me in my nonfiction. These endeavors are so important.
Or just stop labeling good or bad?
Also very true!

HOW TO LOVE BEING BAD AT SOMETHING?
My Improv friends begin by saying, "Let's make the worst song that's ever been done." 🤪
Even that is aspirational! As kids, we didn't give a f*ck.
Mostly Brave is about loving what is, as it is... so we can stop:
"We sacrifice the beauty of exploration, the adrenaline rush of a burst of inspiration, for this imagined ideal of “great” and “perfect.” "
