The other day I did something that I NEVER thought I would be able to do. As most of you may know, especially if you know me personally, I am so afraid of singing on stage. I've always been so insecure of my voice and felt that I could not sing. Well I overcame my fear! When I found out that the Osceola Center For The Arts was going to be producing the Jekyll & Hyde musical (my favorite musical) I knew I had to audition even if it meant facing one of my biggest fears. I was very nervous and afraid, especially when the director called my name to go on stage first, but I overcame it. Once I was on that stage I realized it wasn't as bad as I had made up in my mind. Fear is only as powerful as you let it be. It's all in your mind. I can honestly say that after singing and facing my fear I felt like I could conquer the world! Plus it was a ton of fun! If there is anything I want you to get out of this is to not be afraid to do the things that you love, that fill you with passion. Fear is the number one dream killer in the world and if you let it run you it will keep you from many wonderful life experiences. Face your fears!!!
