One of my favorite television shows that I like to watch with my girls is
Project Runway. Angie, my fashionista, enjoys it probably a little more than Gwendolyn who considers herself more the "sporty-girl". But I enjoy watching them as they look at the designs that the contestants create and then critique them like they are serious art critics. Fashion is high-art after all. Something about the show resonates with me as you witness these passionate, ambitious designers trying to discover and strengthen their artistic voices while being riddled with competition and harsh criticism. My favorite quote from tonight's episode is when one of the judges says of a contestant, "but she has tenacity and you need that in this business, especially when everyone around you is judging you at all times."
BINGO!
That's been my struggle of late. Feeling like the whole world is judging me at all times. It can take you to a very dark place, especially when you feel like you have no friends. But this particular contestant to whom the judge was referring used those dark feelings whenever she was faced with criticism and created her next design with more determination. Each time she did, she felt stronger. That, is inspirational to me...Highly Inspirational...
