As an artist I often try to create from the end result to the beginning, often thinking backwards. Then having to make it work from the end to the beginning. The process becomes a task in having to get the end result to match this image I have at the final stage of perfection. When I do this I lose spontaneity. The unknown becomes known as I strive for something perfect. In the striving for something perfect I can get lost and frustrated and never complete or even begin the idea that I see as the end result.
So for today I give myself permission
To eliminate the need for perfection.
For it causes procrastination.
I allow myself the space to forget about the end result and begin at the beginning. I let the creative process take me where it will take me. Sometimes it is a far greater result then I can begin to imagine....in the beginning. I trust in the process and let it lead me instead of me leading it.
