Make It Up As You Go Along

Painting by numbers is doing things the way they’ve always been done. There is no risk. 

True creation, though, is always a leap of faith. There is uncertainty about the outcome. It is by it’s very nature a place of humility and vulnerability. We don’t know whether we’ll make it out in one piece. 

Probably shouldn’t  make it up as we go along if we happen to find ourselves working in an air traffic control tower. 

But if change, of any kind, is required … if something could be better….if there are new possibilities and places to be discovered…if we want to challenge, surprise, and bring joy…then “winging it” is part of the deal. 

It’s a requirement, in fact.
