Trying and failing

This is a failure but by trying you learn what you are good at and what you are not good at.

Blank canvas and acrylic paints. I just thought I'd give it a go. Not at all happy with the result but in painting this I have learned that I must stick to what I am vaguely good at - flowers.

It's like writing. If you just do it you feel good. It's the fear of failure that holds us back from discovering what we are truly capable of.

When looking at the blank white canvas or the blank white paper it's hard to start in case it doesn't work out in the way we want it to. But action is the only way forward.

So just go for it. Paint your picture. Write your novel. You may well surprise yourself!!
