What I mean to say more of is, the attempt at improvement’s the ideal mind-frame. Compared to perfection, there’s a satisfaction to reaching level not previously achieved. Knowing that improvement remains also lights a fire to continue, gives meaning to the current trials and efforts too.
I can take a picture, but don’t have a contract for my freelance work. I’m artistic but disorganized sometimes. Growing where I’m weak feels as good as excelling where I’m already proficient. Trying to deliver more information, with less error or miscommunications, supporting my loved ones with their efforts, seeing the other side of things, especially for myself. I might take a better picture one day.
Sometimes the results are worse, sometimes. Other times, they might be better, Taraz.
There is more drive to being an expert than getting the label. It is a process of continual learning, even if it gets finer and the improvement slighter.
Improving our negatives is an important step in optimizing our process so we can do more in what we like doing. Everyone wants to do more of what they love, but rarely realize that in order to do so, they likely have to first improve in what they dislike.
