Quote of the day #7 - Living life
I've lived most of my life afraid of trying new stuff, because of fear of ridicule, of failure, of not being good enough. Now I see that living like that was a big mistake, I've started doing new stuff and I really sucked at it, but there isn't a feeling in life more rewarding than making progress, looking back at your initial failures and realizing how far you've come from there.
If you're considering starting something, just do it. Please, you can thank me later. :)
Love this! In fact it's something I've been reflecting on a lot today... how much of my life I've wasted not doing things because of the thought that it had to be perfect or else it was no good. I've been on Steemit for one month, and I've posted a lot of stuff I know I could do better... but I'm proud of everything I've posted, because at least I did it 😊
I'm starting to see Steemit as a way to share my creative process with others and to see what they're working on, rather than as an endpoint for masterpieces. Which is so liberating because now I'm feeling like it's ok to create something and share it without it having to be perfect or even fully finished. And I'm also seeing the trajectory of my progress as I get better at things I love to do.
"Skill comes with time, just start!" is an excellent encapsulation. I fully agree. Looking forward to seeing the development of all of the amazing creative people on here as we continue to make awesome content for this awesome platform!
Hi, thank you ! Really love your reaction. I totally get the struggle of trying to be your best and never sharing with the world and you're totally right, this is a great place to share things, everyone's greatly positive and supportive. :)
