So here you are. Standing at a place that is ‘Not Amazing’ and you’re trying to get over there to 'Amazing’. There is no shortcut except to go through the mud of 'Not Yet Amazing.’
I want to have more bad ideas, more terrible first drafts, more embarrassing design mock ups, more failures, and more awkward moments.
While that may sound like the worst Christmas List ever, what it actually means is that I want to try harder and have less fear of failure. More bad ideas, more terrible first drafts, and more failed attempts, means more work created.
