Just saying a quick hello to the awesome and talented group that I hang with these days. I’m fortunate to be involved with an artistic and supportive community of folks who continually push me to be better – as a writer, player, and most importantly, a person.
My question to my readers, and the folks mentioned above, is: are you taking full advantage of what’s around you? Are you using it as the encouragement it’s supposed to be, or are you negatively comparing yourself? I hope you’re not, because it’s not fair if you are. It’s not fair because you ALWAYS see the best of those around you, and the worst of yourself.
Think of it this way: Every morning, you get up with bad breath, pillow hair and a day’s growth of stubble somewhere on your body. THAT’S how you think of yourself each and every day. When you see other people, however, they ALWAYS have perfect hair, sweet smelling breath, and face (or long lovely legs) that are smooth as a baby’s – well, you know.
There’s no comparison. You’ll never win if that’s how you’re looking at yourself amidst the community you hang with. Don’t do it. Instead, know that you look hot too, and you’re NOT SUPPOSED to be them. You’re supposed to be YOU.
Just make sure you always, and I mean ALWAYS, work hard at being the best you you can be.
And yes, I said W-O-R-K…
