“…if your internalized view of failure is anything that is
not perfect, then you are disempowering yourself from exercising your inherent
creativity.”
- Peter Sims in The No. 1 Enemy of Creativity: Fear of Failure
Oh, snap.
There goes that wall I’ve created -- you know, the one that
keeps all imperfect actions and ideas far from the world.
Since I’ve stood in the confines of that safe haven for so long, the idea of releasing imperfect ideas leaves me more than a little
exposed. I cringe at the thought of admitting that perfect doesn’t fly in the
real world. And yet, I know this to be a gem of truth -- imperfection is an inherent quality of the creative process.
So what do you say we brave this together, friends? Let’s dare to be vulnerable and allow creativity to flourish in imperfect soil.
