Take creative risks and push beyond your comfort zone from "summary" of Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert
Creativity demands a certain level of audacity. It requires us to be brave and bold, to take risks that might make us uncomfortable. This is not easy, of course. It would be much simpler to stay within the confines of our comfort zone, where everything is safe and familiar. But that's not where the magic happens.
When we push ourselves beyond what is easy and known, we open ourselves up to new possibilities and discoveries. We challenge ourselves to grow and evolve, both as individuals and as artists. It's in those moments of discomfort and uncertainty that we truly come alive, that we find the spark of inspiration that fuels our creativity.
Of course, taking creative risks is not without its challenges. It requires us to confront our fears and insecurities, to push through the doubts and uncertainties that can hold us back. But it is precisely in those moments of struggle that we find our greatest strength and resilience. We learn to trust in our own abilities, to have faith in our creative vision.
So, don't be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone. Embrace the unknown, the unfamiliar, the uncertain. Take risks, make mistakes, and learn from them. Push yourself to explore new ideas, new techniques, new ways of thinking. And most importantly, trust in the process. Trust that the creative journey will lead you to places you never imagined possible.
