Students

Don't let the need for perfection stand in the way of productivity, Beloved. 
There's nothing to prove. 
Nothing to lose.

Just GO for it.

We're all students here.
We're all learning something, and we ALL have room for improvement. 
All those people who appear more practiced, more polished, more qualified than you?
They're learning too.

So don't let the feeling the you, your work, your art, your projects have to be absolutely perfect, keep you from committing to the process.

Take RISKS.
Go out on a limb.
Jump before you see the landing pad.

Whatever makes your heart sing and your blood race, go do that.
Don't do it because your qualified or certified.
Don't do it because of some abstract, intangible sense of purpose. 
Don't do it because think you can.

Do it because you think you CAN'T. 
Do it because it seems impossible, and at the same time ignites your passion like NOTHING else. 
Your passion IS your purpose. 
You are NOT a hapless bystander, waiting on the sidelines of this story.
You are the writer, director, producer, and the lead.

YOU ARE THE STAR.

Stop waiting for perfection. 
Go out and SHINE.
