In this video, I share the parable of the Boatmaker & the Sea as a metaphor for the creative process. The moral of the story is that although we often think that those who have created anything such as art, music, an invention, or an entrepreneurial venture began with a pre-defined vision of what the final form will be. Instead, ideas often start as vague, unformed stardust that only come into being by moving forward boldly into the unknown, or as in the story of the Boatmaker, by jumping in, knowing you will get wet.
