Despite...
the odds
the failures
the weather
the bank balance
the mood
the misunderstanding
the lack of knowledge
the fear
the outcome
Or, because of them. Either way, the work matters.
Creativity doesn't just happen. It's a process of persistent action both despite and because of constraints. And it's a good thing, otherwise both the work and the outcome would be pretty boring.
Dance with constraint...despite and because. Please dance.
