If you put something out there and people don’t like it or ignore it, the shame we carry says, “You are bad.” But here’s the thing: you are not your work.

You have to become vulnerable to create and even more vulnerable to share your creations with others. But it gets easier with practice. And every time you share in the face of fear, your work has a chance to become exponentially more valuable.
