i’ll share something i wish i knew when i first debuted. confidence shouldn’t be built upon the talent, fame, the public hype that you get. it should be built upon your discipline, your ability to endure through it all, your passion and the reason why you’re doing what you do—because this way, you’ll never lose your confidence. a huge part of your career depends on that, so it’s better to have a firm foundation than one that only thrives in bursts of happiness. as for taking risks, DO IT. if you fail, learn from it, pick yourself back up and move forward! i promise you it’s not as scary as it seems.
