I’m currently reading Austin Kleon‘s Show Your Work and I love this quote about being an amateur —
“Amateurs are not afraid to make mistakes or look ridiculous in public. They’re in love, so they don’t hesitate to do work that others think of as silly or just plain stupid…Amateurs know that contributing something is better than contributing nothing.”
So give yourself to be an amateur today. Make mistakes. Look ridiculous. Just love the process.
