Vincent van Gogh's quote emphasizes the importance of trusting oneself and silencing the inner voice of self-doubt. When faced with criticism or uncertainty about one's abilities, it's essential to push forward and take action.
Indeed! To my experience, self-doubt doesn't need to be silenced to create; rather, it helps the individual stay humble, and one must learn to balance it, acknowledging that we all have abilities and limitations.
However, to create at a higher standard, that voice needs to be challenged through practice, patience, and persistence. By engaging in the activity or task that sparks that inner critic, the process of creating or learning helps build quality, confidence and develops a more positive inner dialogue.
Embrace all aspects of oneself is key. ♥
