"为了完全自由地创造，我们必须首先找到勇气和意愿去放手：放手那些过去对我们有效的策略……放手我们的偏见，这是我们幻想的基础……放手我们的怨恨，这是我们受害感的根源……放手我们常常被否认的对被发现不可爱之恐惧。"
— Gordon MacKenzie
Simplified Meaning:
Creating new things requires us to be brave and to release old habits that might be holding us back. This means we can't just rely on what has worked before; sometimes, to make something new, we have to try different approaches. We also need to be aware of our own prejudices and misconceptions, which can cloud our judgment and creativity. Holding onto past grudges or feeling sorry for ourselves keeps us stuck in negative patterns and prevents us from moving forward. Lastly, we must face the fear that deep down, people might not love us. When we let all these things go, we open up a space for new ideas and allow ourselves the freedom to innovate and grow. For example, an artist might have always painted in a certain style because it was successful, but to create something truly original, they might have to let go of that style and experiment with new techniques and ideas.
