A candid conversation with editor and author Karen Rinaldi.
Like most of us, Karen Rinaldi spent her life doing her best to be great at what she pursued, and avoided things for which she didn't have an aptitude.
Check out my conversation with Rinaldi as we discuss, ”The key to a richer, more fulfilling life is finding something to suck at.” After all, there are close to 8 billion people on the planet, so the likelihood of your being the best at something is small. “So, embrace sucking,” she insists.Perhaps, like you, Rinaldi didn’t casually decide to start ‘sucking’. She was on the same hamster wheel of seeking near-perfection.
“It basically gives me the reason why I don't have to enter something that scares me. It's really another way of saying, ‘I'm afraid of failing’.”“Early psychologists have studied two different kinds of striving. There's normal striving and there's abnormal striving. Abnormal striving means that you can do it, and when you fail, you try again and again. Abnormal striving means if I fail, I'm done or I'm not worthy.
