Creative brilliance / Creative resilience

People believe the myth of creative brilliance.
A superpower that you just have, or just don’t.

But the real superpower of the creative is resilience.
The ability to try, miss and try again.
To let go and start over.
To turn failure into fuel.
To bounce back over and over.

It’s more grit than gift.
More endurance than epiphany.
More doing than dreaming.

Creative brilliance exists, but it’s built on resilience.
