Being afraid of success is the one thing stopping you from achieving the things that you want most. Most people stop before that moment. That moment that will separate the winners from the losers. However losing, as uncomfortable as it may be, is the one thing that opened my eyes. Its not what you think, losing can come in many forms... Remember we're talking about fashion here. Ive taken loses by not finishing pieces or by simply not using the correct technique when sewing and making a garment I thought was beautiful but when I took a step back, looked cheap. Cheap pieces or cheap garments are the bane of my existence, to me it reads "WOW I can't afford those nice silks so I had to settle for georgette, or poly blends, the bottom of the barrel. Nobody wants to look bad, at least I don't which is why I do what I do. But see, sometimes Im afraid of my own potential, my own success and so I stop even before Ive started. Or I overthink and give up on everything. But this gown in particular opened by eyes to what I am truly capable of. I have this dress to thank, because without it I wouldn't have the confidence to keep going. However before this dress there was another dress, and whats so messed up is... The reason why losers are always so loud is because the winners are the only ones you see. I praise this gown because yes it beautiful and gave me confidence, but this other gown fueled the fire in me to be better than what I was. That gown is the one that I think of when I don't want to fail. I say this all to say, keep going. Period
