There were toooo many truth bombs in here! I wanted to restack the whole thing. Loved it. Off to figure out where to put a link to this, so I can revisit it whenever I need a boost!

Such a great reminder! There have been many times when I wanted to start something new, but the knowing that it would take possibly years to get to where I wanted to be, I never ended up starting. Now I think back and wonder what would have come about those ideas had I taken the risk.

I feel like we have all been there…. I heard a quote the other day that said “what was the best time to start? 5 years ago. What is the second best time to start? Now.”

This was a joy to read Reid! The permission to suck and be ok with that and keep going anyway xo

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

Going to share something tomorrow,

I will let it suck and call it art anyway ✨🥰

Reid Cox's avatar

Thank YOU Colleen!!! Yes exactly… let it suck and call it art anyway! After all…. Isn’t all art subjective anyway? What one person thinks is terrible, another person might think is brilliant!

This was so beautiful- thank you for sharing the Ira quote with us all!

Being brave enough to suck at something new...I just finished Adam Grant's "Hidden Potential" and your message resonates with that teaching.

I must really need to hear it!!

Thank you Reid <3

Wow!! I am so happy that this resonated with you! I haven’t heard of Adam Grant’s book “Hidden Potential” but I’m going to order it today… always room to dive deeper on this topic. Thanks for the recommendation!
