I think many of us have internalized discouraging narratives that keep us from acting on the emotions that trigger inspiration. We learn how to nip our own creative ingenuity in the bud. Rather than be driven by curiosity or wonder, we shrink back. Discounting our personal power and innate ability to drive impact, and to influence change. We keep ourselves from acting on personal moments of inspiration.

There are people you will meet in life who will try and convince that your words don’t matter. These are the people who will invest dime and dollar trying to get you believe that what you say doesn’t count.

The ideals that we nurture, at some point will take root in our reality or require revision. Flexibility. Adaptation. Recognizing that you were never limited by the standards and expectations that you anchored your self-identity against.
