My Life Adventure

My card for this week is "Do It Wrong"

Not something I often think I need much encouragement to do!!  Still, the idea is  - so what if it is not perfect.  Will I quit art because one piece I do turns out looking like something a cat barfed up???  NO!!!  I'll just learn from it and move on.  OR maybe it ends up looking better than I would have imagined.  Some of the world's inventions started with an oops!  Besides, even if it doesn't work for what I am planning right then, it could fit into something later!!  So, don't let the fear of not getting it just right stop you from exploring and experimenting.  Do it wrong and watch what does or doesn't happen.  Life won't end!!!  In fact, unless you decide to share the experience, no one will even know you goofed!!

There is one aspect of my art I'm procrastinating on currently because I don't think it will be good enough and I don't really WANT rejection!!  This is a good message for me.  Just do it anyway.  They will like it or they won't.  They won't even have a chance to like it if I don't get it done and put it out there, right???

SO........ BE  BOLD!!!  GO  FOR IT!!!!  WHAT'S THE WORST THAT CAN HAPPEN???
