Good Ideas/Bad Ideas

came across this quote today as i read over some thoughts from bryan allain, who exists to "help folks find their fans, extend their reach, and build their killer tribes."  

"So don't be afraid of the bad ideas.  They don't exist to shame you, embarrass you, or make you look stupid.  They exist to help you find the good ones."  

this was good for me to read today.  too many times i struggle with fears of failure, that what i produce won't be good enough.  at some point you just gotta swing the bat.  you'll never hit the ball if you don't swing.  so, i'm gonna start swinging today.
