Living With Gusto

Comparison Is A Thief!

“It’s none of your business what other people are doing. All that matters is that you’re enjoying yourself and pleased with what you’re creating. It’s precisely your uniqueness that makes you awesome.” Jen Sincero from “You Are A Badass

  • WHY do we all struggle with this? As an artist, even though I believe my cards and designs are wonderful and fun and have words that people need, I see other artists whose work is recognized (or sells) better, and always, always, there is this little pang of comparison. I’m getting real here. Vulnerable. I want you to know that even an amazing, confident, sparkly woman like me does the dirty “C” thing that takes the fun out of my art and my life. It’s so useless. And inhibiting of my creativity.
    There is always someone who is more ____(fill in the blank) than we are. Who gives a rip? We are more ____(fill in the blank) than someone else. So what? All we need to do is be better than we were yesterday. And, rest assured, there is enough for all of us.

So just fergit about it already!

Love and hugs,

Passionista
