In the span of a few days I came across references to failure by two extremely successful people – writer/illustrator Jules Feiffer and tennis champ Martina Navratilova. In different voices, in different publications, the message was clear – risking opens you to the possibility of failure as well as success. Martina puts it this way (interviewed by Kate Meyers): a champion must be able to fail. Jules (interviewed by Jesse Rhodes) says, “ Failure is implicit in the arts”. Failure helps you figure things out.
Get Fired Up:
What risk can you take to boost your creativity?
~is this about sharing your work/ your efforts with someone else?
~is this about signing up for a class to explore your talents or interests?
~is this about putting pen to paper, brush to canvas, fingers to the keyboard, or otherwise putting yourself in the place where you have no idea what will result?
And the suspense is, well, exciting.
