Why Your Next Mistake Could Be Your Biggest Success
Episode description
One of the biggest blockers to creativity is the fear of making a mistake. You probably have multiple ideas swirling through your head at any given moment, but maybe you're feeling afraid to choose the “wrong” one and move forward. Or maybe you feel intimidated to create, worrying that the end result won’t be what you had envisioned.
For 12+ years while we are in school, we are taught there are right answers and wrong answers. All of our learning is leading to the end result of getting straight A’s, a good report card, or a high GPA.
But this way of thinking is harmful when it comes to creativity! An emphasis on the end result will cause a fear of making a mistake. Thinking there is a “right” and a “wrong” choice, will leave you debilitated.
Creativity requires an emphasis on the process.
It’s the messiness and mistakes that inevitably come from the process that will move you forward.
In this episode, you’ll learn tips for becoming resilient to making mistakes so that you can create freely and enjoy the journey.
