Seth Godin's blog is an excellent resource for young designers. In his January 26th entry, he talks about the struggle within to find the self-confidence to concentrate on your work as opposed to focusing on your desire not to screw up. I strongly related to this entry because I found my goals on the outside are often to communicate my design ideas clearly and to produce noteworthy work. Quite often though, my real goal that blankets everything is to just not to fail. I find myself worrying more that I won't be able to produce anything, let alone anything good. I need to embrace the fact that, yes, I may fail at somethings, but that it is ok in the long run and will make my future work all that much better.
