You didn't come to compete, you came here to create.
Comparison: the poison creative quiet
We live in a loop of constant “benchmark”. We look at what others do to try to make it better, more beautiful, faster.
And without realizing it, we began to run a race that was never ours.
We want to compete when in reality we were created to build something that does not exist.
Something that, without you, might not be born.
Comparison kills the vision.
Because instead of looking inward, get to look to the sides.
Creativity is not new, it is fidelity
Do not need your project to be extravagant, disruptive or “out of range” for it to have value.
The real creativity is to be faithful to a voice that speaks from the inside.
The voice of the Spirit, the voice of your story, your voice, your experiences, your heritage, your pain, your dreams.
There is where it was born for the real thing.
“True creativity does not scream. Holds.”
So... what I came to create?
Great question.
And the best way to answer it is: turns to look your journey.
- What are the things you always moved?
- What are the problems you can't ignore?
- What would you do even if you weren't getting paid?
- Where you are “weird”, but at the same time bright?
There it is. That thing that burns without which no one will ask.
This is what you came here to create.
The comparison is the art of forgetting who you are.”
Actual cases that they created from their DNA
- Steve Jobs built Apple from his obsession so simple and elegant, not because the market asked for it.
- Corrie Ten Boom preached forgiveness in concentration camps. No one asked for it. She just obeyed.
- Lecrae created a movement of christian hip hop without having anyone do before. Just had a story.
What they had in common: they did not wait for approval. Operated from the design.
How to build from your unique voice (in practice)
Here are 5 keys to start TODAY:
- 🧭 Stop looking at what others are doing. Silenciá a little to the feed. Escuchate more.
- 📖 I wrote your story. Literally. Find patterns, repeating phrases, key moments.
- 🔍 Pinpoint your fire. What is that if not you... do you weigh?
- ✨ Hacé even if it is not “ready”. What is important is not that it is perfect, is that it is in motion.
- 🙌 - Looking for allies, not fans. Surround yourself of people that will enhance, not that you clap only.
What you create, it matters more than you think
Your idea, for more girl or awkward it may seem, can be the spark that ignites others.
You may open the way for many who come behind us.
It may break with what seemed “normal” and build a new narrative.
You're not here to impress.
You're here for impact.
