Encouraging Words

Since I have first begun to develop WOMAN Creative, a number of my friends have been right there with me, each adding words of advice or encouragement. At times I have had doubts, not in what I was doing, but how successful I would actually be and if it were good enough to stand up to what's already out there. If I began l looking - at the wrong time - at other artist's work - or other magazines - I could get intimidated and overwhelmed, as if my efforts would never be adequate. Fear starts brewing. It was at such a time, not long ago, one of my women friends came to my rescue with Biblical words of advice. "Do not compare ourselves to others." she said while we were working. I drank in those words like the antidote to a poison. It doesn't matter if I am religious or not, I can gain strength from the depth and wisdom of timeless advice. I can't deny it is comforting to know they are in the Bible, not only is it advice; it's an order of the Universe! As I contemplated the words I realized all the beliefs I embraced for adopting this philosophy. Another good friend (this one male) also recently said "Sometimes it's better not to know what you can't do." This could adequately apply to all the pioneers, inventors, researchers and perhaps even Bugsby (visionary of Las Vegas). My point is that it applies to WOMAN Creative. My point is that it applies to me and you. Woman Creative is a set of tools to help you become what you are, without compare. It is the essence of being you. Individual and Unique. The incomparable you. Go for it!
