When I was a kid, there was no such thing as email. We didn’t have a family computer in the living room.
There were no cellphones either. In fact, the only mobile phones I saw were on TV detective shows (and those were only as mobile as the cars they were in).
So how on earth did we communicate with our faraway relatives in that primitive world?
Do you ever feel like you don’t measure up?
When you do something extremely well, better than you ever thought you could, do you tend to believe it was just a fluke?
I’m not going to tell you that you shouldn’t be jealous, envious, or that you should ignore how much better another person might be.
Go ahead, dare yourself. Compare yourself. It might be the best thing you ever do for your art.
