Creative Confidence

The recent post about 5 factors to help you be more creative, from John Cleese, as posted by Maria Popova on her brilliant Brain Pickings twitter feed ( @brainpicker ), is great.

I especially liked #4: Confidence (“Nothing will stop you being creative so effectively as the fear of making a mistake.”)

I know exactly what this means. Like many people; I have had more opportunities slip past me for fear of trying than for having tried and failed.

As Benjamin Mee would say: “Sometimes all you need is 20 seconds of insane courage, and I promise you something great will come of it.”

Okay, so, let's go ahead and give that a try.
