Quotes by Denise R. Jacobs (?)

“This power is in everybody. We all have the desire to create something out of nothing, be it a recipe, a poem, or a business.”
― Denise R. Jacobs, Banish Your Inner Critic: Silence the Voice of Self-Doubt to Unleash Your Creativity and Do Your Best Work

“I saw a series of tweets that sparked a wave of self-loathing so profound that I spent the day sobbing and despondent, as I chastised myself for being a failure. I had fallen into the deep pit of Comparison Syndrome, and to return to anything close to being productive took a day or two of painstakingly clawing my way out.”
