How anything worth doing from here on out is necessarily going to be beyond my realm of safety. Discomfort is proof that you care, proof you can love something so much you want it to be better than it is. ​ The most successful people I know are the ones who don’t take discomfort as a deterrent. Instead, they approach it with a childlike curiosity, take it as a signal of interest. ​ I see it this way: hiding your creative work has infinite opportunity cost – it prevents you from getting any feedback (good or bad) that helps you improve; it silences the variety of luminous, expansive, electrified ideas that seek articulation. ​ The interim between feeling ready and doing it despite the discomfort is where the entire world begins.
