sell-out crowds and $1,000 tickets, Miranda was still writing the musical and he was
struggling with his feelings of self-doubt:
“I have a hard time finding the balance between not beating myself up when it doesn’t happen as fast as I’d like it to, and
not wasting time while I wait for it to happen.”What did Miranda do? He pushed himself and kept writing. That’s why he
posted this on his page: to remind everyone that we are all the same. We all struggle
with the same self-defeating feelings and the only way out is through. So, 5- 4- 3- 2-
1 suck it up and “Get back to your piano.”
I love what his wife said too: “Everyone has that problem all the time.” She’s
right. We all doubt ourselves. That is the truth. The biggest mistake you could make
is to buy into the lies your feelings are telling you. Do not wait until you feel like it.
5- 4- 3- 2- 1 Get back to your piano.
