Choose cultivation over comparison

I want to ask you a question:

If you gave your child a brand spanking new set of paints what would you want them to do with it?

Probably say thank you and then gleefully find something they could paint. Perhaps you would love to see them for hours working on new masterpieces. Maybe it would be awesome to see them make new friends and work on ways to hone their crafts. You would probably find a way to send them on trips to study the best pieces of art or even take some painting classes.

It wouldn’t matter what it was as long as your kids was growing in their gifts and talents. It would make you happy to know that they were content and confident in what they were doing.

You probably wouldn’t want to see your child shove everything under the bed and tell you that they can’t do it – they will never be as good as Picasso.

That would break your heart – at least it would break mine.

So many of us do that as adults! We take our gifts and talents and shove them under the bed, convincing ourselves that we are no good and shouldn’t even try. We compare ourselves to others and then disqualify ourselves from life before we’ve even painted one stroke on the canvas of our dreams!

So what can you do?

Well what did great people do to become great at what they do? They cultivate their gifts! They study their craft, they hone their skills – they do whatever it takes to build their talents into something spectacular!

I want to encourage you to do the same thing! Take the time to work on what you want to do and be patient while you become great. PLEASE don’t shove your gifts and talents away because of comparison.

At the end of the day no one can do what you do the way you do it – so keep fighting and don’t be afraid to shine!
