We yearn for innovation like a fish floundering on dry land. Yet every life-saving wave of creativity is vaporized by our scathing judgment before it even reaches the shore, snuffed out by the obsession with perfection.
The fear of being judged has become so paralyzing that many organizations and government agencies find themselves in self-created quagmires—stifling protocols and endless meetings, collapsing under their own weight.
Of course, nothing new can be created this way!
You know what would be a relief?
If we all dared to honestly say to each other, “I’m just trying something too!”
Because really, everyone—whether a president, a single mother, a queen, or a self-appointed lifestyle guru—is just doing the best they can.
We are imperfect beings, each with our own talents to showcase. Let’s take the brakes off, go full speed ahead, and show each other what we can do.
Imagine the space this would create—a space to free ourselves from the harness of perfection and control, to move freely again. It would be a liberation of life energy that our bodies haven’t known in years.
In this state, spontaneous creativity and joy would arise naturally. Our mouths would truly smile again. We’d regain the sense to try new things, to connect with each other, and to live fully.
The renewal we long for is within us. Dare to try. Encourage those who fail. Collaborate. Take the first steps into the unknown—the no man’s land where no one knows what’s coming or how to do it.
Because right there, in the unknown, the new emerges. That’s where the most wonderful creations will arise, together. Beyond thinking, creating in surrender—that’s where we are infinitely powerful.
