Your mind will berate you in performance. It’s self centered thinking that ruins your performance, it isolates you. Instead of being immersed in the experience of the game, you are caught in a web of your own stinking thinking.

Only thinking of yourself and how you will perform.

How others will judge you.

In your fear of what others think, you create the reality for them to judge you. You create an opportunity for them to distrust your gifts. Your fear is small and selfish. You must let go of oneself in order to be the creative expression of art.

Expression has no individual behind it, it is a force beyond small little me. Where once you took a step now it is the step that takes you.

We haven’t forgotten how to trust ourselves. We have forgotten how to love and accept ourselves and it shows when we contract and tighten under pressure.

Pressure is a spotlight it magnifies and calls you to bring forth your greatest gist, your greatest expression. Do not let the spotlight hinder you, most people are running from the light but the light always follows you, it’s like a shadow.

Until you come to accept that you are always in the spotlight only then can you realize what you do behind the scenes is also the scene itself.
