Tip: Don't show everything right away
Darla Baltazar
More of a reminder for me, since I’m way too easily pressured 😂 They say everything is content, but I guess it is, only if you want it to be.
Creatives are a fragile species, and when we create something awesome, we wanna share it IMMEDIATELY. Newbies will share it with literally the next person they meet, or to the general public right away. The real ones know that when you share a fresh, fragile piece (like you are), it’s best to do it with the right people—people who care about what you make, and people who have the same passion.
All that to say, this is just a reminder for you that you don’t have to show everything right away, at least not to everyone. You can stay in the secret place, where God not only sees you, but He guides you.
Learn to enjoy the secret place, my friends. Learn to be contented being unseen and unrecognized by others for everything you do. Your work has a worth of its own, apart from the praise and opinions of others. Learn to see it.
Once you’ve enjoyed it with God enough, then share it. But don’t forget how wonderful it has always been, when it was just you and God.
