Episode Notes
Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds, your daily dose of hope, imagination, wisdom, stories, practical tips, and general riffing on this and that.
We all want it – don’t we? The perfect [fill in the blank]. We wait to ship our work until it looks right, feels right, is right. We hold back on letting go of the paintbrush and calling it art. We want another rewrite of the chapter before we say it’s a book. We want it all – perfect.
But what did perfect ever do for you? Your being perfect won’t help the world get better, but I guarantee you that shipping your imperfect work into the world will. How do I know? I’ve seen my imperfect work surprise me.
Just like a trail in the woods invites me to step out, walk on, trust that there is something ahead I must ship my imperfect work and see who I meet, what happens next, what’s around the bend. Maybe you’d like to join me!
