Being creative comes with an enormous amount of uncertainty.
We get ideas as we create about adding a new color or exploring a new technique but it’s the fear of messing the piece up that holds us back.
What if we gave it a shot and it was the very thing that took our piece from good too great?
What if we gave it a shot and it ruined the piece or we have to do extra work to fix it?
Both of those what if’s bring us to a better place. Those moments of uncertainty are pushing us to be better, even when the thing we tried doesn’t work. We would never know how it looked if we didn’t try.
Wading through uncertainty, and pushing ourselves through the uncomfortable, is all a part of being a creative!
