You have to think enough of yourself to know that you have something to give. It’s a lot easier to give when you know you have something that someone else wants that you can give them.
And that’s what the best artists do on stage. They give.
But so many artists are not givers, they are only takers. Takers might look cool (and be successful) but the reason they are taking is because they hope your praise and envy will fill them up.
They don’t know what they have to give, so they take from everyone else. That’s a lonely, confusing road.
Stop being afraid of seeing the thing you have to give. And then once you see it don’t downplay it or diminish it or think ‘well since I have it everyone must have it so it’s just not that great’.
Step into it and deliver. Over and over.
