“I picked up painting because I wanted to be really bad at something.” That is what the journalist interviewing me told me today.
I love that.
Picking up something you suck at, is a great way of silencing the ego – and less ego is good for creativity.
It echoes one of the messages I delivered in my speech at LEAP today: that creativity is not about “creating stuff” but about the joy of the creative process.
How do you silence your ego?
