You can't find your voice if you don't use it.
— Austin Kleon

Showing your work is not about how brilliant or talented you are. Showing your work is not about being in the spotlight or pleasing others. The decision to show your work is to make your work better, so you can act generously and contribute, adding value.

It's tempting to wait until you are ready, but the truth is that we never are. We learn in the process of sharing ideas and in our daily connections. Our work evolves when we show it in public. We learn to give more, to care, and to help others.

There is no perfect way to start. Austin Kleon says that the best way to get started on the path to sharing your work is to think about what you want to learn and make a commitment to learning it in front of others.

You are responsible for making things happen. Today is the best day to start.
