Seeing this image helped something click in my brain.
Call it writer’s block, perfectionism, procrastination, or just being human.
I didn’t want to write, or do much that required effort. Why?
Well what if I fail. What if I don’t get anything out of it.
External. Ego.
The work is the win. It’s about doing what I love doing. Time well spent.
Who cares if it isn’t perfect, great, good?
It’s time well spent, because I like doing it. It’s part of the process.
Everything starts out bad. Every person who was great started out bad.
No exceptions, ever.
We all have to learn.
We have to learn how to live and survive, let alone thrive or specialize.
So it’ll be bad at first and down the road, if I stick with it, hopefully it will be better.
It still might only be me who ever reads these. But that’s fine too.
There’s genuine value in going through the motions.
The value is building beneficial habits.
