What is natural for you is amazing for others

ByЅolo

It is surprising to tell people that it is natural for you. It seems to me that anyone like this experience. Online music shop for independent musicians "CD BabyFounder ofDerek ShivesI am talking about this.

Obvious to you. Amazing to others. | Derek Sivers

Any creator knows this feeling.

Someone makes innovative things. It is very beautiful, excellent, and it seems like a reminder. I will be stunned unexpectedly.

That way of thinking is something unexpected, very surprising, but perfect.

I suppose, "I did not think about it, how I came up with it, it's wonderful!"

After a while, I guess like this. "My thoughts are common, I do not have that creativity."

I am often caught up with this feeling. A wonderful book, music, a movie, a wonderful conversation ...... I wonder how creators thought of it, I felt awful and felt like a broken nose.

However, I continue to work. I will tell you a bit. Share the point of view. There is nothing like a spectacular eyebrow, but my usual way of thinking.

One day, a certain person sent me such a mail.
"I did not come up with that thought, how did you come up with it? This is amazing!"

Of course I denied and explained that it is nothing special.

But then I realized that it was very serious:
Everyone thinks their own ideas are common.

You can bet, Saxophone playerJohn ColtraneAnd physicistRichard P. FeynmanEven thought that playing and thinking was very commonplace.
In other words, it seems to be awful for someone, even for something that is common for me.

In an interview with a selling child musician, I've seen a lot of confessions about the best hit song I've ever had, "I was saying that it is not worth recording until I release it."

We are a very bad judge when we create ours. You should publish your creations widely and receive a referee.

Do you not have anything that is too ordinary to share?
