It's crucial that you stop comparing yourself to other people. Always remember that your job is to express your unique self. Please take a serious look at what the amazingly gifted dancer/choreographer Martha Graham had to say:
"THERE IS A VITALITY, A LIFE FORCE, AN ENERGY, A QUICKENING THAT IS TRANSLATED THROUGH YOU INTO ACTION, AND BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY ONE OF YOU IN ALL OF TIME, THIS EXPRESSION IS UNIQUE. AND IF YOU BLOCK IT, IT WILL NEVER EXIST THROUGH ANY OTHER MEDIUM AND IT WILL BE LOST. THE WORLD WILL NOT HAVE IT.
IT IS NOT YOUR BUSINESS TO DETERMINE HOW GOOD IT IS NOR HOW VALUABLE NOR HOW IT COMPARES WITH OTHER EXPRESSIONS. IT IS YOUR BUSINESS TO KEEP IT YOURS CLEARLY AND DIRECTLY, TO KEEP THE CHANNEL OPEN...YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOURSELF OPEN AND AWARE TO THE URGES THAT MOTIVATE YOU... NO ARTIST IS PLEASED. [THERE IS] NO SATISFACTION WHATEVER AT ANY TIME. THERE IS ONLY DIVINE DISSATISFACTION, A BLESSED UNREST THAT KEEPS US MARCHING AND MAKES US MORE ALIVE THAN THE OTHERS."
