Quote by Martha Graham

What works for me?

Ask yourself this question.

Then apply this to every area of your life.

There is a catch.

How do you know what will work for you?

Well, you’ll have to experiment.

You’ll find that what works for you will usually be a combination of what has worked for you in your past and what works for other people, sprinkled in with nuances that make it work for you. This blend will provide you with customized solutions tailored to your needs.

If all you do is try to exactly replicate other people’s methods, you’re rarely going to get the results you’re looking for. Because, obviously, you’re not them. Although you might share certain similarities, there are still minute differences that will give you wildly varying results.

Ultimately, and the sooner the better, you will have to come to terms with the fact that you are unique, just like everyone else. This insight will be liberating, and you can begin to push towards activities, actions, and techniques that have the potential to move you towards your personal aspirations.

By the way, people will always try to convince you that their way is the right way, and it is for them. Don’t begrudge them. Listen, and if you like what they have to say, then try their ideas. But always come back to the question. What works for me?
