STOP THE COMPARISON — CELEBRATE THE CALLING
Let This Be a Wake-Up Call to Every Young Instrumentalist Out There.
In a world already divided by envy and ego, must music—our sacred art—become a battleground too?
Lately, I’ve seen posts flying around:
“Who’s better?”
“Who would you pick?”
“Who plays cleaner?”
And often, these comparisons pit young, rising talents against seasoned, established instrumentalists.
Let’s pause for a moment.
What really is the goal? Clout? Comments? Controversy?
This culture of competition is quietly eroding what music was meant to be—a unifying force.
Comparison like this doesn’t build, it belittles.
It doesn’t inspire, it injures.
Here's what you must understand:
🎵 Every instrumentalist carries a different grace, shaped by years, tears, seasons, and sacrifices.
🎵 You don’t grow by tearing others down—you grow by learning from them.
🎵 When you dishonor another musician, you're dishonoring the same gift you carry, just in a different vessel.
You don’t need to outshine another to be relevant.
Greatness isn’t in being compared—it’s in being consistent, humble, and authentic.
So next time you’re tempted to stir “controversy,” ask yourself:
Will this build bridges or burn them?
Will this spark growth or gossip?
The real ones don’t compete—they collaborate.
The mature don’t compare—they celebrate.
Let’s be better. Let’s do better.
Let your gift make room for you—not your pride.
Thank you 😊😊
