Fantastic post, Darryl.
I think the number one reason most people quit on their creative endeavours is due to comparison with top influencers.
They think it’s pointless to continue because no matter how much they grow, the top influencers will also keep on growing (at a faster rate). Eventually, they will never be able to call themselves top influencers.
We have our own journies, struggles and experiences. Instead of comparing with others, we can just enjoy our own hustle and experience the our own journey as it is — without judgement. That’s when when we can truly enjoy and own our journey.
Thanks for writing. :)
