As I rebuild my hope and my life in general..work on creating a niche for myself, I find myself asking when considering going out on my own in a particular career direction and/or creative endeavor that is not a typical career, etc ….?what is the point when> A) so many previous attempts/directions have fall through already or didn’t work out due to various reasons, B) I have real health limits that make it hard to just push on through like a bull and most of all…>C) there are so many others doing similar pursuits that I ask… ‘is there even a place or need for what I have to offer??…should I even bother putting it out there??
I vex quite a lot over this and struggle to continue summoning up the bravery or confidence to push past my own worries or the illusory limits of the market. Moreover I struggle with gaining the clarity to keep on pursuing something because I feel like, ‘well It’s been done or is being done by so many…so why bother?’
It’s very discouraging….I know what I would tell someone else…but I’m me and cannot seem to see past my own worries or the world. A lot of that youthful, fiercely independent and outside the box bold a$$ thinking and living was kicked out of me when I got sick and things fell apart and now as I rebuild I am doing so in a different, new fashion that is not quite as bold as I used to be. So I’m literally having to figure this out now, 10 years older and life circumstances GREATLY changed as a result of it all…etc….anywho…
Curious what others think about about pursuing something that is already done by many others, against all odds and still being positive about it?
Thanks! 🙂
