Olympic Champions won't like this
If you are an Olympic Champion or a Prize Fighter you may want to disagree with today's comments.
Creativity is a non-competitive sport. You are not in it to be better, best or even to be outstanding. You are in it, to do your best and to be amazed by what you are capable of achieving.
It is useless to try and impress others. It is even more useless to attempt to be better than others.
How can you bring something unique into the world if your mind is partly distracted by your need to ‘improve’ or to ‘defeat’ or to ‘win’. You are a unique something living in a human form. You are capable of producing unique somethings that only you can do. There is no competitiveness about it!
You do not have to compete to be successful, you only have to be true to your own heart, your passion and your unique way of seeing the world.
Winning is useless, but creating for the sake of artistic expression is invaluable. If you need to compete, then compete with yourself, improve on your previous achievements, that will be enough to keep you busy. So do something about it now! Take the pressure from yourself and stop comparing and competing.
Have fun and go it alone - someone told me that fun is good for you!
