Embrace the inevitable failures and setbacks from "summary" of Big Magic (deluxe) by Elizabeth Gilbert
Failure is an inevitable part of the creative process. It is not a sign of weakness or lack of talent, but rather a natural occurrence that all artists must face at some point in their journey. When we choose to pursue our creative passions, we are opening ourselves up to the possibility of failure and setbacks. This is not something to be feared or avoided, but rather embraced and accepted as a necessary part of the creative process. Failure is not the end of the road, but rather a stepping stone on the path to success. It is through our failures that we learn and grow as artists. Each setback teaches us valuable lessons that we can apply to our future endeavors. By embracing failure, we can turn it into a powerful tool for personal and artistic growth. In the face of failure, it can be easy to become discouraged and lose motivation. However, it is important to remember that failure is not a reflection of our worth as artists. It is simply a temporary setback that we can overcome with perseverance and determination. By accepting failure as a natural part of the creative process, we can approach it with a sense of resilience and optimism. When we embrace the inevitability of failure, we free ourselves from the paralyzing fear of making mistakes. We can take risks, push ourselves outside of our comfort zones, and explore new creative possibilities without the burden of perfection weighing us down. Failure becomes less of a threat and more of an opportunity for growth and discovery.- By accepting and embracing failure, we can cultivate a healthier and more sustainable relationship with our creative work. We can approach our art with a sense of curiosity and openness, knowing that setbacks are not final outcomes, but rather temporary roadblocks on the path to success. Failure is not something to be avoided, but rather welcomed as a natural part of the creative journey.
