Every Friday, seminarians attend the afternoon mass and some of them are selected readers for the Reading. I noticed that the representative for the second reading seems to be a bit nervous, it must be because of the pressure since his colleagues are there to watch and actually listen and maybe judge him.
Then I realized, the reason why I can perform on a crowd of people because I don't pressure myself onto whoever watches over my performance, I'm in love with what I'm doing that I just want to perform it on the best way that I could. I get too attached with what I do as if it is a very important thing, and maybe because I know I can perform it well.
But of course that is not always the case. I had my own great performances (which only a few witnessed) and a lot of fail moments. During those fail moments, pressure and insecurities entered my mind at the wrong time that is why they happened.
I am talking about stage performances at the previous paragraphs, but we can also apply these to our studies, our artworks, and everything we're supposed to do. We should just be passionate, it seems like one's great performance is out of loving what he does and not be pressured (or not care at all) by other people.
