“Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.” – Voltaire
Hi Artists,
What a great reframe on comparison – the idea that what we admire in others is present in us as well.
Today:
Make a list of artists or works of art you admire,
Add some details about what you admire about them,
Reflect: in what way does what you appreciate or admire belong to you as well?
Keep going!
XO,

P.S. Did you put yourself on your list? You are as worthy of your love and admiration as anyone else.
This was awesome to read today. Thank you.
I have a lot of heroes in my career, but I've never done the reflection exercise and thought about what I admire in them belonging to me as well...it was quite a wonderful shift in perspective because I'm a comparison-queen ; )
