Stop Comparing Yourself to Others | Rick Rubin

In a world where everything is oversaturated seeming and there is a lot of competition for attention, how can an artist stay true to their inner voice and not be in comparison, but be willing to collaborate and also see success in others and be okay with it? Yeah, I think staying out of it, you know, like not participating in that game, that's someone else's game. I would suggest play your own game. When you're playing poker, you can't just play any cards. you play your hand based on the cards you've been dealt. If you embrace your part, it's your best chance being true to yourself, not seeing, oh, well, those people over there are getting popular doing this other thing. I don't really like it, but it's really working for them. Maybe I could try that recipe for disaster.
