We all hide behind our fears, convincing ourselves we aren't courageous enough, brave enough, strong enough, or proud enough to succeed. 

We tell ourselves that if we never open up the curtains that we entrap ourselves within, that no one will ever see our failures, our hardships, our biggest fears,

but we do and that is what holds us back. 

We spend time trying to overcome the boundaries that we instill as obstacles in our paths,

and tell ourselves that dreams are just that.

But what if.. instead we just breathed? Calmly,  focused, and just did all of the things we were afraid to do.

What if we opened the curtain to find a roaring audience cheering on each and every note we ever played, every word we ever spoke, or act we ever performed as they stood in awe?

What if we just threw all of our biggest fears away?
