Whenever I feel stress about succeeding in an upcoming project, I lean heavily on this self-reminder:
“I’ve never not.”
I’ve never not overcome a temporary block to finish writing.
I’ve never not made it to the end of the concert.
I’ve never not gotten caught up on sleep…eventually.
I’ve never not seen the cast prepared for opening night.
Is there a first time for everything? Sure. But knowing that I’ve never not made it through is a comforting thought that buoys me when I need it.
