The creative mind vividly imagines the future. Future realities, works and outcomes. That ability is the strength and — if we are not careful — the potential downfall of creators.
What we produce to begin with does not compare to what we imagine. Our limited ability as beginners does not deliver the imagined outcome. Our creative mind is disappointed with our results. Worst case we leave the new thing before we get any good.
We are not meant to be good to begin with. We need to lower our expectations. Strive to suck less today than yesterday. And then keep at it until we don’t suck.
We are meant to suck. We are meant to practice. And gradually to suck less.
