Quote by Natalie Goldberg
We have to look at our own inertia, insecurities, self-hate, fear that, in truth, we have nothing valuable to say. When your writing blooms out of the back of this garbage compost, it is very stable. You are not running from anything. You can have a sense of artistic security. If you are not afraid of the voices inside you, you will not fear the critics outside you.

When the motivation to create comes from a place of authenticity and self-acceptance, our work becomes more meaningful and resilient. By confronting the voices within us, we can become less concerned about external judgment and criticism, granting us a sense of artistic security.
