Has someone crushed your motivation? A short rant on creative poison

By Laura Busche · February 11, 2014

Has someone crushed your motivation this week? I say DELETE. Delete them. Surround yourself with people that elevate your talents and skills. Don’t confuse advice with persecution, or feedback with mistreatment. Creative poison is all around you, and it comes from those you least expect. From those who feel so insecure about their own talents that they make it a mission to undermine others’. Take control of your motivation, avoid drainers, and thrive. Thrive like you were born to change this world. Because you were.

This is life people: you don’t get points for bringing others down.
