371. Are you judging yourself too early?

Suggested book: "The Creative Act: A way of being" by Rick Rubin

Why do we judge ourselves or our life by one moment in time or one thing that happened or maybe one aspect of ourselves we don’t like? That’s just one little ingredient to the overall big picture. So yeah we have that thing that ok we don’t love on it’s own but when it’s added to everything else it’s what makes things really work. 

It would be like taking a piece of cake and instead of waiting until the cake is done you try each ingredient and judge the end product on the way each individual ingredient tastes so you wouldn’t eat the raw egg and say well that cake isn’t going to taste good because that’s gross or you try a taste of the vanilla that you add and by itself it doesn’t taste good but wow when you get the flavor it adds in the end product it wouldn’t be the same without it. That’s how we have to look at our life. There’s some ingredients that are so yummy and then there’s some that aren’t great but in the overall big picture it makes things work. 

I love you guys!
