Happy Monday everyone!
Today I wanted to share a quote that I recently came across. (I know, I know it has been around forever, but it was new to me.)
This quote was inspiring me today when working on some stuff for Abella Blue. Sometimes I look around the internet and see such great talent I wonder why I even try, because I will not ever be as good as them. But I have to remember that I can only be the best I can be and I should not let that stop me from doing what I love. I have a unique perspective and I love creating in many different forms of media.
I have this quote pasted above my work space to help me stay focused and not feel discouraged. In the past I have shut down when I felt like I would never be as good as someone else, or if I didn't think I could get whatever I was doing just perfect. I think having this quote posted where I can see it every day has helped me create a more positive attitude and be less critical of myself. This in turn has helped me be more adventurous in what I am making and have more fun with it, rather than stress out over tiny little flaws that I would have worked and reworked until I would just give up.
Does anyone else ever feel like this? What are some quotes that you keep close by?
