Creators- You Do NOT Have to Compare Your Journey to Anyone Else

Aug 16, 2026
During today's At the Table, we talk about the danger of comparing your progress to someone else's. Apples are not oranges. A number on a screen is a goal I'm working toward, but it doesn't tell the whole story of what has already happened. When I started going LIVE, I had around 40 followers. Now we're building toward 10K so I can qualify for the Creator Career Program and keep learning how to become a better LIVE creator. And I'm realizing that the people who show up, repost, share, comment, and spend their time with me are already part of that abundance. We talk about creativity as having the tools, materials, time, skills — or even just the willingness to try. And sometimes a project gets 95% finished because we're missing one tiny piece. That doesn't mean the whole thing is worthless. Sometimes you share it anyway. Sometimes the story is in how far you got. Most importantly, this conversation is about small actions creating big impacts. You don't have to have everything figured out. You don't have to compare your beginning to someone else's middle. You don't have to wait until you have everything you think you need. Sometimes you just need enough to take the next step. And sometimes "abundance" is simply having people who will take that step with you. #AttheTable #ACleaverArt #Abundance #CreativeAbundance #CreativeJourney #ArtistLife #ArtistCommunity #CreativeCommunity #MakeArt #ArtCanChangeTheWorld #SmallActionsBigImpacts #FullTimeArtist #CreativeBusiness #TikTokLIVE #CreativeInspiration
