This week on the podcast we’re looking at the 3rd letter in the PASSION acronym (S: Silence Comparison) and taking a closer look at the pain comparison causes us.
| P: Pursue Joy
| A: Ask Questions (last week’s episode)
| S: Silence Comparison
We’ve all struggled with it, but do we realize how incredible destructive and debilitating it is to our passion and creativity?
When we trade our little work-lamps in for unforgiving floodlights, choosing to take our eyes off of our own passions and projects in order to examine what others are up to, we too often forfeit the joy of the process and diminish the beauty of our own offering.
