In this episode:
Comparing is an act of violence against ourselves. - Iyanla Vanzat
- Comparison in life and in our creativity feels bad because it undermines who we are and what we create. Think about what happens when we compare: Comparison requires judgment: I judge myself as bad/ worse and the other as better.
- The positive aspects of comparison: learning, getting inspired, or in competitive situations knowing where you rank.
- Public speaking moment: a client wanted to speak like YXZ. Does her audience want another version ofXYZ? a copy of XYZ? or the best version of her.
- What is the best? The best speech, the best book? It depends on what is the purpose of the speach.
- A New teacher talking like somebody else. What sticks out: who is speaking?
- The ugly face of comparison: jealousy. Transform it: evolve thru this awareness: find within yourself the gifts you see so clearly and admire so much in the other person.
- How do I conquere comparisitis : becoming aware of the feeling, checking in what was I just thinking? Realizing I was comparing myself. Letting it go....
- Comparision promotes copying and is limiting our creativity.
- Letting it go requires courage and trust within ourselves and our ideas.
