I used to laugh at it until I noticed how our lives build on habit and routine.
All of our actions tie themselves together. There is never “just one time.”
Whenever the easy route comes about, think that over.
Most “bad” people started off with good intentions.
Our taste is the bedrock of our create practice. If our impact on the world around us were an algorithm, “taste” would have a real role in the results.
That is why creation is necessary. You get better by showing up. And, you’ll get better faster the more often you do it. Perpetually create.
Creation alone won’t get you there though. There are far too many people who make things for the sake of making things.
To get our taste honed, we need to create a practice of perpetual curation. One way to do this is to build a practice of feedback. You’ll need to learn how to ask for feedback from people whose taste you appreciate as well as performing feedback for others around you.
Having a practice where you do both is powerful.
Show up.
As nice as it is and it feels to get a clean break, you can’t have one unless you to understand the cause of the issues and start your work there. Often I thought if I just got a new boss, launched a new program, or started a new diet, things would work out for me. Those new things always led me back to the same place. Even if I get brand new tools, if I have the same blueprints, I am going to build the same house.
