I worried, 'What if I'm like one of those people who goes on American idol thinking they're kickass singers but they actually suck balls and everyone thinks they're a fool?" #humiliation In The Great Work for Your Life, I read that you must either live your dharma or it will destroy you.

In September 2014, I started breaking the bars of my fear-cage, facing one fear at a time.
