Doubt and fear are part of the creative process from "summary" of The War of Art by Steven Pressfield
In the creative process, doubt and fear are not obstacles to be avoided or overcome. Rather, they are essential components that must be embraced and understood. Doubt and fear are natural reactions to the act of creation because creativity requires us to step into the unknown, to venture into uncharted territory where there are no guarantees of success. When we encounter doubt and fear, it is a sign that we are on the right track. It means that we are pushing ourselves beyond our comfort zones, challenging ourselves to grow and evolve as artists. Doubt and fear are a necessary part of the creative process because they force us to confront our limitations and push past them. Instead of viewing doubt and fear as negative forces that hold us back, we should see them as opportunities for growth and transformation. By acknowledging and accepting our doubts and fears, we can learn to work with them rather than against them. We can use them as fuel to propel us forward, to inspire us to push through our resistance and create something truly original and authentic. By embracing doubt and fear as integral parts of the creative process, we can free ourselves from the paralyzing grip of perfectionism and self-doubt. We can learn to trust in our abilities and our vision, to have faith in our creative instincts and intuition. Doubt and fear are not enemies to be vanquished, but allies to be welcomed and embraced on our creative journey. They are the fire that fuels our passion, the catalyst that propels us forward into uncharted territory.
