Never Stop Cringing

“If you cringe at your former self, that’s good—it means you’ve grown. Never stop cringing…It’s impossible to be a life-changing presence to some without also being a complete joke to others.” -Mark Manson

You will write or do something that at the time you think is amazing. You think you couldn’t have said or done it any better.

Later on, a year or two, maybe more, maybe less, you will look back on said thing and cringe. (This happens often to me when I re-read my past blog posts.)

That’s good. Cringing is good.

It means you’ve grown and your standards have grown.

It also means you were courageous enough at the time to ship your work. Good on you.

Never stop cringing.

Never stop making and shipping your art.
