18. How the Road to a Great Life is Paved with Shitty First Steps Questions You'll Wish You Asked

    • Society & Culture

People often say they want great things in their life.

But if you’re not willing to be bad at something, take imperfect steps, and patch together a “good enough” idea while your magnum opus accumulates with experience, you might not ever get your greatness out into the world.

If you’re not willing to make bad art, you might not get to your great art. If you’re not willing to go on imperfect dates, you might not find that partner they were leading to.

Today’s episode is a guide to taking “shitty” steps that lead to the great life you desire.

We draw on wisdom from the great patron saints of creating and living while imperfect: Anne Lamott, Julia Cameron, and others who believe the road to your dreams is paved with typos, confusion, and sometimes shitty, embarrassing, perfectly imperfect awkward steps.

If you’re ready to get unstuck and take some exciting and imperfect steps, I encourage you to listen to today’s episode.
