Community comes from a latin word which means “shared in common”. So how do you know who your people are? They share a common need and love for the same things as you. Which means you have to find your people. Peers. Mentors. They will give you insights, encouragement, support, kindness, gentleness when you’re down. Community helps you with the inevitable wall of rejection and failure. Your creative identity and sense of purpose will be transformed because you will inspire and validate each other.
