It came down to that last project, the one I was so proud of. But there it was staring me in the face...the one mistake. It was too late, money was spent, it was delivered, and the customer was refusing to pay.
What designer or illustrator hasn't made that infuriating mistake? For that matter, what person has NEVER made a mistake??...that's my inner voice, wondering what the big deal is.
Yes I'm human and I make mistakes, I would say. We all make mistakes.
But with that thought, I failed to try. I failed to be more careful and look closer...I assumed.
I can make mistakes, but it doesn't mean I will. I can go the extra mile and take that second, third, fourth look. I can dot all the I's and cross all the t's. I can and will do it perfectly, even every single time. That's just as possible as mistakes are, AND it's more in my control than mistakes are.
Lesson learned.
