If you set your bar at 'amazing' it's awfully difficult to start. Your first paragraph, sketch, formula, sample or concept isn't going to be amazing. Your tenth one might not be either. Confronted with the gap between your vision of perfect and the reality of what you've created, the easiest path is no path. Shrug. Admit defeat. Hit delete. One more reason to follow someone else and wait for instructions. Of course, the only path to amazing runs directly through not-yet-amazing. But not-yet-amazing is a great place to start, because that's where you are.
Seth GodinIt'd be nice to just hear, "You did a great job." I don't say this from personal experience because I have an amazing husband who is an amazing father.

He does it without me having to ask for it and there's something so beautiful about not fishing for that compliment from your partner that gives you that much more of stability and confidence.

Ken JeongBeauty is everywhere and it comes in all different forms. Many times I don't find a size zero girl amazing, I find her really shockingly thin or small, and I think that beauty comes in all different forms. Beauty is about how you feel.

Kelly CutroneI truly love [Andy Serkis]. He's an amazing guy.

He's such a bright, amazing guy.

Stan LeeAnd sometimes it happened, for a time. That kind of love comes and goes and is hard to remember afterwards, like pain.

What could be done with all this rubbish?

The most amazing thing that came out of all of this, however, was the support that had developed online. Without the people that came back day after day to vote for me, I'd be nowhere, and I really owe it all to them.
