Love Yourself, Love Your Work, Take a Risk

Allow yourself to risk being criticized, being mocked even. When you show your true self, when you put your work out into the world, there is always the possibility of someone not liking it, making fun of it, condemning it. That's okay. As long as you stay in your heart, and gather around you people who love you, you are completely protected. Other people can have their opinions without impinging on your good energy. Love yourself. Love your work. Share your particular genius with others. That is what life on earth is all about.
