Scared of talent?

Question

I know that I have always wanted to be a musician. I have always watned to see myself in a band or at least playing as a career choice. I have composed some songs and I have showed it to a few people in which they say its good. Im too scared to show other people in the fear they will laugh at me or think of my ideas as stupid. I really dont have much going for me right now in the sense of not being where I thought I would be at my age. My friends are married , have kids , or going to school. I am planning to go back to class but Im not sure in what. I guess it all comes down to what I should do with myself now. I have always depended on destiny and so far, she hasnt dealt me a bad hand. Not sure what to do

Answer 1

Perhaps you should get used to the idea of working out a goal and then working to achieve the goal.

Dream big. Start small.

If you think Destiny has dealt you a bum hand, stop depending on her. Depend on yourself for a change!

Answer 2

What do you have to lose? If you do nothing, then you have gotten nowhere. From this point, the only way you can go is up. People who are successful step out of their comfort zone and do things which are scary at first, but with practice they become more comfortable. Set a goal, work backwards and figure out what it is that you can do tomorrow to start making that happen. Even if it's only making one phone call or a list of things to do. Also, let your family and friends know that you are planning to pursue your talent. Putting it out there that you are pursuing your music will help you follow through. Once you seriously put things in motion, they will be easier to do. Commit yourself and as you see the beginnings of success, you will become more self-motivated.
