This small case of writer's block is trivial, for there is more than plenty to write about. My musical progress, Spanish studies; I could even write about writing itself.
But perhaps what hinders me are my doubts in expressing my inner critical thinking, my musical struggles and victories, and mainly, just allowing myself to write what is in me.
The fear of not writing good enough has crippled me in my blogging journey. But it doesn't stop there. The fear of lacking true musicianship, the fear of rejection, and the fear of not measuring up to my expectations have all played a part these last few months, but not anymore.
Last year, I conquered some of my greatest fears. This year, I come to conquer even more.
There are stories that need to be told, music that needs to be heard, art that needs to be seen and felt with the heart. Yahweh gave me my talents for a reason, and I needn't hide them away because I feel amateur in many of them. Yahweh gave me a desire to meet lots of people, but I shouldn't bury that desire for the fear of past experiences repeating. This is a new day, with new people and He assuring me day by day it's well worth the risk.
We all start somewhere and this is where I'm starting.
To kick the habit of negative thinking, this week I'm gonna call it quits and proclaim in the face of all my fears that I AM CAPABLE.
It's tough breaking old thought patterns, but definitely not impossible. After all, incorporating good thoughts never hurt anyone. Why not dwell on the things that nourish our souls? Driving us to a better future?
This week, Tomorrow, Today... I AM CAPABLE. And what's makes this even better, is that you are too. We are all capable, and we all possess the drive to succeed in anything we set are mind to. We are more than conquers, and we are fearfully and wonderfully made. I am capable, you are capable. We all are.

"Finally brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy- mediate on these things." Philip. 4:8
Have a wonderful feast everyone,
