Embrace uncertainty and impermanence in your creative endeavors from "summary" of Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert
Creativity is a mysterious and often elusive force that we must learn to respect and honor. It is a force that can bring us great joy and fulfillment, but it can also bring us great frustration and disappointment. In order to tap into this force, we must be willing to embrace uncertainty and impermanence in our creative endeavors.
Uncertainty is a natural part of the creative process. We can never know for certain where our ideas will take us or how our projects will turn out. We must learn to accept this uncertainty and trust that the creative process will unfold as it is meant to. We must be willing to take risks and step into the unknown, even when we are unsure of the outcome.
Impermanence is another aspect of creativity that we must come to terms with. Our ideas are fleeting and ephemeral, and they can disappear as quickly as they appear. We must learn to appreciate the transient nature of creativity and not become attached to our ideas or projects. We must be willing to let go of our creations when the time comes, knowing that new ideas and projects will always be waiting for us.
By embracing uncertainty and impermanence in our creative endeavors, we can free ourselves from the fear and self-doubt that often hold us back. We can approach our work with a sense of curiosity and playfulness, knowing that the outcome is not as important as the process itself. We can learn to trust in our own creativity and in the power of the universe to guide us on our creative journey.
