How to encourage creativity and innovation in a group when so much failure is required to succeed?

How to care without feeling responsible and/or let down?

How to build something with a group and be graceful in the face of differing goals and values regarding the thing being built?

How to value something over which you do not have full control and be able to find contentment even when that lack of control means the thing is not always a fully accurate representation of the thing you value?

There is something intrinsically un-peaceful about creating things with others, and responsibility in such endeavors fosters an even higher propensity towards unsettlement.

Driving to achieve a thing of hard work and difficulty is to have an image of it in your mind in some state of completion towards which you are trying to move a shared reality. To let frictions and roadblocks defer you too far from that image means settling for inferior achievements. Dissatisfaction is an intrinsic part of making a thing better, whether that’s art or a program, a company or a community.

The problem for the individual driving achievement, driving the goal, is in finding some measure of peace within the dissatisfaction. The two are in opposition and to find balance is to give up on the full expression of one or the other.
