noun, often attributive\kə-ˈmyü-nə-tē\
- a body of persons of common and especially professional
interests scattered through a larger society; joint ownership or participation
A supportive community is a group of people who will
help you through challenging times and celebrate with you in great times. It’s
a group of people who have a commitment to you and who are there when you need
them. It’s also a group of people
you are committed to when they need you.
Among creative people, there isn’t always a readily
available supportive community. We
want to change that here. This
isn’t to say that you’ll hear everything you want here. You may hear things from your community
that don’t make you feel great.
But sometimes we need someone to shake us up to wake us up for only the
truth will set us free. That’s how
we know someone really does want what’s best for us.
Your peer group will have a major
effect on your forward progress.
The people you choose to listen to can propel you forward or pull you
backward. For some people, their nuclear and extended families serve as their support communities. If
you have a family like this, you are truly fortunate. Not everyone is so blessed. In fact, often
well-meaning friends and family members don’t want to lose you when you succeed
so they will subconsciously try to erode your confidence in your dream. The key is to guard your dream at all
times. You must choose who you
listen to. Love your family but choose your peers.
When we need support it’s easy to look for “what’s in
it for me” but often that’s the wrong approach. A lot of the times, we get
what we need by giving what we
need.
Help us build
our community by sharing this blog site with your friends who will also benefit
from the support they’ll get here.
