Yes!!!! I totally get your step analogy, it’s called trust in the universe and most importantly yourself :-) I am definitely one of those people who goes all out of order and doesn’t do things the way everybody else does, so I always feel like I’m not doing it right… But that’s just the way that I am. I always get where everyone else is going anyway! And comparing yourself to everyone constantly and feeling inadequate because you’re not where they’re at, is a bit detouring… But I can honestly say that if I didn’t compare myself to other artists and applied the curiosity of whether or not I could achieve that level of skill, but still make it my own, Was more or less the way I used that to my advantage, and turned it into a way to improve. But I know what you’re saying some people let it stop them dead in their tracks and they feel like if they’re not good enough then they just shouldn’t keep going. But yeah! My work definitely looks different than it did five years ago. And if it wasn’t for UA-cam, I’m sure my work would not look as good as it does today! Even with all the eyesight that I have lost, I still think that the fundamentals And all of the techniques that I try leave a lot of room to increase my skill level! That is a good thing to know about having enough traction here on UA-cam before you can apply live links in your description… But nothing stopping you from verbally promoting your store on Shopify!!! You can even just flash it on the screen or put it in your pin to comment Even if it’s not live!! I would totally go check it out :-) And of course, I don’t know all the things about being a UA-cam success, but I do know that consistency and certain settings can make or break the circulation. Your channel gets. Keep doing what you’re doing, Leslie! It’s all just a learning process and we don’t need to do it like everyone else in fact, it’s better if we don’t! Apparently the algorithm likes that lol just kidding! ❤️😉✨🎄
Oh good because I totally felt like my analogy has not landing hahaha! YES!! Trust in the universe is exactly it!!! See I totally fell into the hole of thinking if I don't do things like everyone else then I must be wrong. And it took all year (and even long before I started UA-cam) to actually figure out that doing things differently is way more fun and interesting. Especially if it means you are being truly and authentically yourself. I COMPLETELY get what you mean about looking to other artists and being curious to see if you can achieve those things as well. In fact that is a REALLY good point! Rather than comparing yourself to others, you are getting curious about your own abilities and gathering inspiration from other creative people. I really love that twist on it! You are so right about that and I love your perspective on it all!! Everything you have said has really made me see things in more of a positive and happy light and it really means a lot what you say! ❤❤ Also YOU have been SUPER consistent on UA-cam and I hope you keep that going next year! You have something really unique with still making art even though your vision is creating more obstacles. Like that is SUCH an inspiration and something I think a lot of people need to hear. So I hope you keep it up!! I really think the world needs it. I haven't had a chance to catch up with your videos and I have literally been looking forward to when vlogmas slowed down so I could actually spend time binge watching your channel!! ❤🥰🥰
@@LuRuStudios thank you Leslie! It means a lot to me, even with all the things you have going on that you still take the time to reply to my comments and have an interest in supporting me as a creator! There’s a handful of people, and you are one of them, that have really inspired me to keep going here! Your channel is so unique and stands out to me, I can’t wait till the rest of the people figure that out!😉🙏❤️🕊️
