on trying

“Time will multiply whatever you feed it.

Good habits make time your ally. Bad habits make time your enemy.”

But what scares me is that we've trained them to see struggle as evidence they're on the wrong path. We've convinced an entire generation that if work feels hard, they must be doing it wrong.

Imagine if we could turn off the fear of making something lame. Imagine how much more we'd do.

Unfortunately, if you want to do new things, you'll face a force more powerful than other people's skepticism: your own skepticism. You too will judge your early work too harshly. How do you avoid that?
