What To Do With Trashy Ideas

Remember the idea that ran through your mind the other day? Remember how you trashed it the moment you gave it more thought because you thought nobody else would care?

Maybe the only reason it was trashy was because you didn’t think it was good enough.

Not the others, but you.

When we reject too often or too quickly, we never give anything a chance to see daylight.

Your trashy ideas and thoughts might just be the thing someone else needs (but they’ll never get to know it because it was thrown away a hair too early).

The more chances we give, the more likely we’ll get to make the changes we seek to make.

Help I Can’t Share My Work

Whether you think it’s too naïve of a thought, too amateurish of a self-produced video, too rough around the edges for a piece of writing, or too rushed as a painting, nothing beats having gone through the process of saying you had to try it anyways. Nothing’s final, nothing’s permanent.

When we put the attention on our progress instead of seeking for validation, we can shift our entire attitude towards sharing our work.
