Creativity takes courage. That’s because an essential element of creativity is the willingness to make mistakes.
The challenge is that we have been programmed to think of mistakes as failures. They are not. Mistakes are stepping stones on the way to our best art or work. Mistakes provide us with proof… proof that we are trying something new, rather than playing it safe within our comfort zone.
Here’s a suggestion
If you find yourself suffering from any kind of creative block, give yourself permission to make more mistakes.
Just don’t keep repeating the same mistake. Learn, adjust and move on.
