"You are not for everyone" And that's okay. Some "You are not for everyone"  And that's okay.  Sometimes we want to please everyone and serve everyone.  But not everyone is going to respond to our voice and may not even like who we are and what we represent.  We need to be okay with this.  Let us focus our energy on those who do do want our message, our offerings.  Are you okay with knowing you are not for everyone?

"Do the next thing" When you are stuck or stalled "Do the next thing"  When you are stuck or stalled, what is one thing you could do?  Sometimes we see the whole picture all at once and it is overwhelming.  So, take some time and think of just one thing to do today that would contribute to your overall goal.  One task.  That's it.  Then you do that again.  One. Step. At. A. Time.  #growyourbusiness #womeninbusiness #femaleentrepreneur ⁠

Your gifts are needed. You have a unique skill se Your gifts are needed.  You have a unique skill set that no one else has.  The world needs your voice, your talent, your way of seeing the world.  It is easy to focus on the feelings over the facts sometimes,  "I don't feel relevant."  "My talent is not as good as..."  "I don't think my work is good enough"  These are based in feelings not facts. Yes, we can always improve. But...  You and your gifts are relevant, unique and needed.  That is a fact.  Keep putting yourself out there.  Trust the wait.  Embrace the journey.  #surfacepattern #surfacedesign #floraldesign #immersion #surfacepatterndesign #surfacedesigner #botanicalpattern #printandpattern #textiledesign #textiledesigner #artlicensing #licensingartist #creativeprocess #creativelife #worldofartists #loveforart #creativehappylife #creativebusiness #livecreatively #fabricdesigner⁠
