Thank you, Vanessa. I needed to hear this: “The question is ‘is the work good enough.’ If the answer is no, then you do the work until it is.”
I have just started my writing journey at the beginning of this year after many decades of “wanting to be a writer.” And even though I’ve spent the past four years as a mindset coach for others who are finding the courage to pursue their dreams, I still struggle with all the parts of me that want to run away, because writing is hard and what if I suck?
Your mentor nailed the importance of a growth mindset: even if some of my work sucks right now, if I keep doing it, I will get better. I just need to choose to listen harder to the voices that tell me I can do it versus the ones that say I can’t.
Your workshop participants are very lucky to have gleaned this wisdom from you!
