Is summer almost over?
We’ve got a week left of July, then it’s august and well that means it’s the end of summer. I saw a back to school shopping ad today.
Seasons and structure in the calendar has come to define so much of our lives. I’m savouring every last moment of summer because I think it’ll end soon. But I’ve come to love autumn just as much and even the frigid cold winter has it’s sunny days. There’s also nothing quite like hot chocolate on a cold day.
Creating something novel everyday on the day has been a serious exercise in effort.
I came across this reel today and wanted to share.
You have taste. You have preferences. And when you see something good, you know it’s good. But when you go to make something, at least at the beginning it often falls short. Even with our natural bias to like the things we make more.
Great work is hard, but the continuous effort to keep going is what makes it all worth it. The default is to stop short. And that’s okay, but if you keep going, continuing to pivot, the work will speak for itself. That doesn’t mean it will be conventionally successful. You still need distribution for that. But it does mean that you can be proud of your work and as you look back, you’ll inevitably see progress.
Another reel I saw today about the same theme.
Just keep swimming, it’s always in season.
