“It’s kind of an excuse, isn’t it, that if somebody’s telling you how talented you are, that’s a good excuse for them not to try. It’s a good excuse for them not to put the work in.

“Because if you’ve just got this magical quality, that you just have talent, that gets them off the hook, and it means that they don’t have to put the work in. Because you know, it’s futile! They’re not talented, and you are!“  ~Cathy Hay

I’ve been binging the CosTube group’s videos the last few weeks, and Cathy’s channel is a goldmine of motivation and general life help that’s been such a boon. I know that these are technically geared towards the sewing creatives, but I feel like a lot of the topics are things that everyone can relate to, and possibly get some guidance and support from.
