More & more I am reminded to have faith in my process, that I should never be afraid to”ruin” the work.
Often, during this creative process we fall in love with what we make, sometimes before the best ever emerges.
Therefore, it is imperative to know how to constructively “murder your darlings” to allow the work to reach its greatest potential.
This is very different than self-sabotage, as it is done with full faith & trust in the process that we are making room for the divine intervention…that something greater than we ever imagined will inevitably emerge.
Murder Your Darlings
a poem by Stefanie Vega
When you murder your darlings you are aware of the callings to uproot those seeds that you’ve sown. To be reluctantly willing to continue the tilling for the treasure that’s yet to be known.
