Just be you
It’s so easy nowadays to fall into the trap of comparing yourself to others. The only thing this does is bring you down, make you feel less worthy or gifted and stunts your creativity.
My inner voice talking to myself -
“So what if your skills are not on par with someone else’s? You can’t compare someone’s starting line with someone’s finish line. That person could have years of experience whereas you are just starting. I can guarantee they were not as good as they are now when they were first starting.
There is no reason to tell yourself you are not enough, or you will never be as good as [insert artist here]. With that attitude you will stunt your growth. You have to focus on yourself and your own process. You have to enjoy the process. You have to be bad at something in order to be good at something.
So please stop trying to compete with an artist who doesn’t even know of your existence. You are your own person, your own artist. You have so much to offer, if only you focus on your own artwork.”
End of rant. Sorry, for the stream of consciousness outburst. I struggle with negative thoughts and self sabotage sometimes. It helps to let it out in the form of writing, or in this case typing :p I hope you have a great day and if you can relate to this post, let’s work on this lesson together. No more comparing actions or abilities to other people.
Thanks for reading! Felt good to let this out.
