Embrace the Journey Over the Outcome

Experiencing intense pressure associated with a personal project can lead to feelings of rejection and distress. The realization that this scenario is a reflection of one's identity can exacerbate this tension. However, a pivotal moment of clarity emerged when choosing to focus on enjoyment rather than fear of failure, leading to a profound sense of relief. This shift in mindset emphasizes the importance of valuing the creative journey rather than fixating on potential outcomes, even in the face of unexpected cancellations or disappointments.
