Getting messy is about risk taking, embracing those moments in our life when we get to choose an unknown path to simply figure out what is down the road. The unknowing and ambiguity associated with the unknown for some is exhilarating and for others something to be avoided at all costs.
Learning, creativity and innovation rely on messiness - a walk towards what we think might happen but without the exact knowledge that things will go a certain way. This is the place where the new emerges, we see, experience, and in the process are transformed.
