Dare to Resonate: Break Free of Self-Doubt and Unleash Your True Worth as a Musician
FREE
Have you ever felt inadequate? Have you ever second-guessed whether your talent and art are really worth anything? What happens when self-doubt and false beliefs latch on to our art?
The stumbling blocks to a musician’s pursuit are numerous: fear of failing to perform well, accusations of inadequacy, risk of being vulnerable, and harsh criticism are among them. It is so easy to begin to view our personal worth through the lens of how our music compares to others and how much other people like hearing what we have to offer. “Musician” can be an appealing identity to wrap ourselves in, but basing our self worth on our ability to create and perform can turn into the biggest stumbling block of them all.
The pursuit of creating art in any form will be faced with resistance. The stories throughout this book will show you why it’s important to break through that resistance and find what awaits on the other side. The fight to overcome fear and doubt is worth it when you discover you’re capable of more than you ever thought possible.
