Someone recently told me that they 'gave up' trying to be creative, as they felt that their results were never good enough.
But creativity is as much about self discovery as the end result - it's a journey, not a destination. Some people are lucky to be gifted a talent where things seem to come naturally to them - but most of us have to work hard at our crafts, to develop new skills and use our minds in new and different ways. Sticking on the clear path that others have previously trodden down is much easier than rambling through the thicket of discovery and creating your own path.
Being creative can be a way of unwinding from the stress of the world, or a form of personal expression. A hobby. A vocation.
If the thing you create is something that you have poured your heart into, it is ALWAYS good
enough.
So try and create something new. Anything. And never stop.
