Hey, Adrianna. Thank you for being so vulnerable with your experiences. I have to remind myself, especially as I get older, that I'm not living on clouds and rainbows. I never really sat in the fact that 'resources must come from somewhere'..At the same time, I am reminded of something that a Nobel Laureate said once, that if we work too hard(-competition falls in this category for me), there's something that we are missing.. (because it is written in the laws of nature). So hopefully we can get to a place where we can hold these things in tension, without having to suffer unnecessarily and/or repeatedly. 🌷
That is so beautiful, thanks for sharing Licinda! "Holding these things in tension" is a wonderful concept that embraces gentle acceptance and inner challenge.
This was a welcome reminder to be patient and keep trying, that one person's success isn't another's failure and that more opportunities will always arise. I know rejection is part of every creative's life, but it's still hard when it happens - and everyone always says "don't be disheartened!! don't be discouraged!! just keep going!!" so it was great to hear that I'm allowed to feel sad about rejections for once 😂
In the same vein, I once had a roommate who'd say "your candle doesn't make mine burn any less brightly" and I thought that was a lovely way to look at the whole "one person's success isn't another's failure" thing.

That's lovely! In fact, two candles burn brighter than one, so that makes it even better!
Oh, 1000%! I don't see any use in ignoring our emotions. We just have to check how we react to them among others! Rejection sucks.
Loved this as much as the first one! Thank you for talking so lucidly and positively about scarcity vs abundance mindsets :')
Thank you! ☺️ I’m so glad you enjoyed and that I did the topic justice!
