I’m scared and excited... you know what I mean, Mommy?”
.
This is what my sweet 5-year-old said just before her first piano recital.
.
And I sure do know what she means!
.
When you do something new even though it’s something you want to do.
.
How many times does fear hold you back from expressing your heart’s message?
.
When does fear hold you back from being you?
.
From starting something you’d really like to do?
.
Let a five-year-old’s courage fill your being.
.
Because you have no idea what you’re capable of until you go for it.
.
.
She also asked me “Mommy, the recital is a a really big deal isn’t it?”
.
I told her, yes and no. It was something new for her and she had spent time getting ready for it.
.
But I told her that it was a way to share something she loved - music.
.
She said, “But Mommy if you mess up then you’ll feel bad for yourself.”
.
I said, even if you make a mistake, you will still be your lovable, huggable self.
.
Then, the next time you do something like this it will get easier, and you’ll know you can get through it because you’ve done it before.
.
.
So, yes, being scared and excited totally makes sense!
.
Whatever it is that you’re scared and excited to do, if it makes your heart soar, I say go for it!
.
Much love,
Dr. Dijamco
