Art and Fear by David Bayles and Ted Orland (Heroic Wisdom Daily)

Today's book Art and Fear by David Bales and Ted Orland. An honest, inspiring guide to the inner challenges of the creative life and how to keep making art despite self doubt, fear and resistance. And by art we mean your best life. Here's your one minute summary. Fear is part of creating. Doubt, insecurity and criticism don't mean you're on the wrong path. They mean you're doing real work. Make lots of work. Quantity leads to quality. You grow by producing, not by waiting for perfection. The process is yours. Focus on the work, not on how it's received. Your job is to show up and create. Art is made by ordinary people. You don't need permission or talent, just courage, persistence and honesty. And uncertainty is the path. You don't need to know where it's going. Keep going anyway. Courage isn't creating without fear, it's creating with it. So what will you make today.
