Usually it paid off whether it was great marks, awards or whatever event I wanted to achieve. But when it wouldn't quite go that way, it would put me off on a whole other level. If someone else got the credit for what I did or achieved something when I felt like my work was far superior, I would pretty much be done with it right then and there. If I felt overlooked and used, I would have so much resentment for the person or situation that I was unable to move forward. I knew from a very young age that I am mainly driven by praise and positivity. The whole 'I'll show you!' mentality is a last resort. I was not amazing at taking critique and rejection, because with anything I did, I would invest 100% and put everything I had into it. After a decade now of dealing with rejection, I have obviously learned not to take things so personally. I have learned the importance of not doing things to get to a particular end or some sort of outside applause. I have realized how corrosive some of my beliefs were and how my ego can twist things into the opposite of reality. Its a work in progress, but it's nice to be in a place where I do what I do for growth, curiosity and the hope that the positivity I invest into something can shine through to others. I also view others through a very different lens because just because the outside looks good, doesn't mean the inside is. We are all a paradox in so many different ways and I think it's important to always focus on your own growth instead outside opinions. * Photography: @ardeanpeters
