And, speaking improving your imagination and investing in originality, here’s Seth Godin:
Confronted with the gap between your vision of perfect and the reality of what you’ve created, the easiest path is no path. Shrug. Admit defeat. Hit delete.
Of course, the only path to amazing runs directly through not-yet-amazing. But not-yet-amazing is a great place to start, because that’s where you are. For now.
I love that sentence: “The only path to amazing runs directly through not-yet-amazing.”
