First be limited to be limitless

Limitations are liberating

Perspective is key

Phil Hansen’s Ted Talk: Embrace the Shake

               but I have fun doing it

I can’t sing 

                     but I can bust a move

I can’t dance 

                                    don’t know how to 

I can’t use photoshop 

                    haven’t practiced in years 

I can’t draw

                               can and do                                 

I can’t write poetry 

There are a lot of things I’ve decided I can’t do because I haven’t done them in a while or because I never have done them. I have a load of excuses for why I can’t do these things, but I need to embrace my out-of-tune singing voice, awkward dance moves, unfamiliarity with Photoshop, and lack of practice to overcome my fear of not meeting my standards. The impossible standards I make for myself will never be met when I am trying to do everything in a certain way when actually I can do all of these things just in a different way.
