At uni, I was stubborn. I had an unwavering belief in myself that often expressed itself as arrogance. Then one day, that belief system came crashing down with two simple yet humbling words that a great friend said to me when I was questioning his input, feedback and critique.
Just… try it.
Damn. It was so simple. Too simple, even. The feedback in question was completely within my power to just… try. To see. I remember in that moment having a rush of creative liberation because I could just… try it. It might be worse. But it might better. It’s one of the most optimistic points of view on life I can think of. The possibilities, the potential.
