Argentine steak is lauded as some of the best meat in the world. I agree. My wife’s uncle made a huge Argentine asado (barbecue) for us the other day. I ate my weight in sausage and beef. If I lived here I’d eat steak every day. It’s my delicacy.
But do you know what his family considers a delicacy? McDonalds. Yep…they love McDonalds. It’s actually more expensive than steak here. I can’t imagine every wanting to visit McDonalds when there’s beef like this. But it’s special for them.
Isn’t that always the case? The grass is always greener? The steak if always tastier?
Many artists approach their art that way. They see something they don’t have and want that. But they might not realize they have premium steak in their arsenal. You might be creating something unique and amazing, but wishing you could create something like McDonalds.
Appreciate what makes you unique. Don’t get sucked into the trap of being like everyone else. The world doesn’t need more McDonalds. The world needs more Argentine steak.
