- What stops you from making the things you want to make and why?
I think we all have issues with making in some way. How do you overcome them?
Ironically I had my own issues with making this video which I talked a little about within it.
I'd love to discuss this in the comments if you have something to say on it.
at the end of the day, you either make SOMETHING or you don't, simple as that, making something is the attempt to validate something, you might make something to validate yourself, you might not end up validating what you make, others might validate it, maybe not in a way you expect or others may not validate it, even disgusted by it or hate it and want to let you know how much they hate it, if we fear making it at all it just means that we are products of the safe modern environment, something in us is no longer used to the darkness of having to live in the wilderness, where anything can happen. Where there is fear there is adventure, and we need to want the adventure of creativity with uncertainty being a part of the enjoyment, we need to return to our primal instincts and give up that modern conditioning of being accustomed to safety.
I like the idea of reframing that fear into a sense of adventure.
Uncertainty is part of the enjoyment is an excellent way to put it.
the reason a mature man draws like a 6 year old is because they stopped drawing when they were 6 years old, and picking up the pen to draw, they draw as they best knew how at that age. drawing like a 6 year old is not a bad thing, but their fear of making manifests when they assign the meaning of drawing like a 6 year old as this terrible thing they should feel shame about - they become very uncomfortable drawing like that which enforces the act of continuing to not draw
Yes. That is the point I was trying to make.
Through doing you learn to improve and without making in the first place there is nothing to improve upon.
