CONFIDENCE FOR THE LONG HAUL
Perhaps this is a time of undoing, ridding ourselves of complex processes and systems.
This from Yancey Strickler:
“THE LONG GAME IS ABOUT CONFIDENCE. YOU HAVE TO WILLINGLY LIVE IN A TRUTH THAT’S NOT CERTAIN, YET OPERATE WITH THE FAITH THAT IT WILL BE. A CONSTANT PRESSURE YOU MUST BEFRIEND/TOLERATE.”
Having the confidence that I don’t need to back up every single post, file, or image from the last 20+ years. Confidence is cancelling Adobe and just figuring it out. Confidence is deleting social media profiles and having the faith that it will be okay (it will).
I have no confidence that the Unholy Trinity, that a new app, gadget, or system will come along and give us the answer. Their interest is self-interest, and they’ll continue to string us along if we let them.
Instead, my confidence is with fellow creative folk, even if the directions are a little messy and the path looks weird.
