Wabi Sabi and creativity incorporates the idea that, “Wabi Sabi is an intuitive response to beauty that reflects the true nature of life.”
As we reflected in prior posts on how fear of failure can prevent us from sharing our true self, it is reasonable to conclude that sharing our creative efforts with the world might make us feel too vulnerable.
Facing things like criticism and rejection might be more than our tender heart can bear. However, creativity is meant to be seen and shared with others.
Kempton shares, “The fear of failure is one of the most significant barriers to people doing what they love.”
I have found this to be true with this blog. Many times I’m unsure of how my thoughts might be interpreted. This fear does hold me back.
However, Kempton assures us that it’s not actually the perfection of the creative endeavor, but rather the sharing of the creation itself is what is of real importance.
She encourages us to reframe the act of creativity, and to go ahead and step out and share our pursuits with others. I think about how naturally children share their creativity without a care in the world.
“In the mind of this particular master, there are no mistakes, just interesting creative experiments.”
