Finger On The Pulse

Allow yourself to get excited when you feel you have your finger on the pulse of something. If a creative idea is bubbling to the surface or what you’re working on is starting to make itself clearer, don’t get discouraged if you can’t quite articulate it in its entirety.

Sometimes I put hours of work into a project and, when I can almost fit the final piece that would make it all come together, I become too frustrated and give up. Or I go through some hardship and instead of focusing on the beauty that’s ultimately going to come of it I get wrapped up in its difficulty. But I can sense I have my finger on the pulse of something big… So I’m going to sit with it and see what happens.

It could be nothing, but it’s good to give it time before turning away entirely.
