You have to start believing …

Not believing in you own capabilities is an injustice. I know this now, because I know what I am capable of, what I have accomplished. But I didn’t always know.

I’m part of a writing group, the established members are so good at their craft. They are often the only people that contribute on a writing prompt. But every now and then someone new contributes. I was once that someone new so I know how that feels. To step outside your comfort zone, to feel out of your depth yet still participate. It prompted todays thoughts…

I don’t by any means feel that I am a great writer, or that my blog is anything exceptional. But at one point in time I wouldn’t have even considered putting myself out there. Yet when I see other people feeling like that, I want to encourage them, to push themselves, to believe in themselves, to take a risk. I want them to know what they have inside of them is important, that they matter.
