The big question that’s always top of mind when you’re putting yourself out there:
What are they going to think about me?
The obvious answer: who gives a shit!
(Easier said than done. I know. Been there).
The ‘they’ I’m referring to above can be family, friends, people who follow you, people who don’t know you but discover you somehow. Anyone and everyone.
The simple question ‘what are they going to think’ keeps you from speaking your mind, creating great things, sparking great ideas in others’ minds and so forth.
Then eventually you get old and you don’t give a shit and then you start saying whatever you want to say anyway.
So why not just start earlier in life when you have a bigger audience..?? Think about it.
