Finding Your Voice Through Iteration and Openness

The process of finding one's voice and making a meaningful contribution involves iterative efforts and being open to surprising oneself. Rushing to immediately contribute without experiencing the journey of self-discovery through creation can limit growth and authenticity. Embracing uncertainty and allowing oneself to be taken by surprise by their own work signifies progress and doing things right. The emphasis should be on creating work that feels personally significant rather than having a rigid plan or conforming to industry expectations. It is crucial to stay committed to the creative process despite the uncertainty of the outcomes when sharing one's work with the world.
