I often don’t want to tell people about ‘new’ things I’m doing because I am fearful that I’ll fail, or I won’t follow through, and that I won’t meet my own or others expectations.
But I hate living with that fear or that guilt. it isn’t productive, and it means I don’t get to share the new things that are bringing me joy, so I’ve started telling people about the new stuff I’m doing, because I’d rather people know that I’m taking the leap and that I sometimes fail, than hide that from everyone, including myself.
