Innovation wisdom from John Mayer
John, (like I know him, ha) says, he writes musicĀ "COMPARED TO NOTHING".
This might be the very reason why John Mayer is "John Mayer" and why there are 30 THOUSAND good singers out there who will NEVER be known for their art....it's just like everyone else because they can't see originality through their constant-comparing lens.
I missed it but Brooke pointed out how profound this statement was in that we're more creative when we don't constantly compare and that there are times when we won't create anything new/different if we're constantly comparing it to other things.
Here's a few things I thought about:
1. Comparison paralyzes
2. If you're losing, Comparison defeats
3. If you're winning, Comparison produces pride
4. Comparison divides
What if we live compared to nothing.
