Tried Too Hard

Life’s a weird thing, and a hard place to navigate. I’m learning that I don’t always have to try so hard. In fact, ‘trying hard’ can actually be a negative when it comes with weighty expectations of perfection.

Some of the best work is created quickly from intuition. There’s no time to overthink decisions, or worry. What’s created is created in that moment, and that’s it. Then it passes, and life moves to the next decision.

I’m still learning to loosen up and go with it. I’m learning to let go.
