Space

All of us, suck at something. There is a necessary space for lets called constructive failure. Apparently, I fail at spelling as evidenced above. My thought is about the current perception that if at first, one doesn't succeed. One just isn't cut out for something.  Or one just doesn't have the talent.  Timing and experience play a critical role in talent as do the need to find the space within any job to constructively not succeed.  It seems to be an art form we have lost the talent for, excuse the pun. We are so busy setting our children up for success that we fail to teach them the necessary path of failure within any truly creative endeavour. 

Creativity thrives in the happenstance space between perfection and disaster.  To find people to work with who will allow you the space to try and fail and try again. Those people are the ones who will lead you to create your best work. The path may be fraught with conflict and misdirection. However, the space to think and create meaningful work is constructed with afternoons of staring at clouds and wondering aimlessly exploring ideas and possibilities. 

All to often overlooked in our modern rush towards resolution.
