You know, that Eames couple was onto something. There's much to be said for remaining true to oneself in one's work.
Another idea I admire is giving yourself the freedom to experiment, but make it good. Don't settle for just "OK" because that's not part of who you are. (That requires really knowing who you are. Which you should. But that's another whole post.)
In the meantime, don't lose sight of the forest while you're busy picking bark off the trees, as it were.
Having a point of view helps one's judgment. Because you can say "no, that's not right," with authority and rigor.
To me, all these attributes result from flow--that rare instance when mind, body and spirit are in perfect harmony with what one is doing. Where you are doing exactly what you should be doing at a given moment.
At points when I'm creating something I'm really proud of, I totally experience this.
What about you?
