Trust Yourself

Our doubts can be our biggest traitors! Forcing us to give up our big ideas before they reach fruition. That is why it is so important, for artists as well for any other person or child, to learn to love themselves, and to see the value in what we contribute or create. That is in fact one of the most important things parents need to teach their children to do, to love themselves. It may sound so simple, so obvious, but in the stress and strain of life, sometimes it is by such simple things that we pay the price of existence. In an effort to do the "best" by those around us, often we end up making them feel small, insignificant, useless. Or we may do the same to ourselves. How then can one experience "good", or "success" outside, in the world around us, when we feel of so little value within?
