Trusting myself to make a major career change making less money.

I wish I trusted myself more to follow my creativity. Sometimes I think this thing or that thing would be fun/interesting to paint or draw. But I don't trust myself enough to make it happen - or believe I have the concentration or expertise to create something good or meaningful.

I had a difficult time with this question about trusting myself. I’ve always trusted myself to figure things out. I’ve failed or screwed up but I knew that I could solve the problem or learn to do whatever it was better. I was afraid to ride a new e-bike down a big hill. My fear was based on not knowing the bike well enough and potential injury. So I walked it down many times until I got over the fear. But is this really about self trust? I did learn that perhaps I trust myself less as I have gotten older (with a lifetime of failures under my belt). Thanks for a thought provoking question!
