For those of you that have been rocking with me for a while, you know I'm good at what I do, but I lack consistency...or rather commitment.
The usual pattern of events has been to be full of vim to Blog/Instagram/YouTube and it all goes really well for a few weeks or months. Lots of engagement, positive feedback - and then in come the visions of grandeur. I look at my peers and see their perfectly curated Instagram pages, their positively perfect blog websites, and their crystal clear, well lit YouTube videos and I decide that I need to be them for you guys to have any interest in what I have to say.
I tell myself that whatever I've been creating hasn't been good enough and I simply cannot put anything else out until my stuff looks like "theirs". Forget the community I've built, the friends I've made, the people I've inspired. No now it's all rubbish because it doesn't look perfect.
Sound familiar? There are so many things in life that we are fully capable of going for, could be a promotion or new job, a new hobby, even making a new connection with another person. Instead of looking within and trusting that we are enough, we look outside of ourselves, play the comparison game and determine ourselves to be the loser before the whistle has even blown to start the game.
I read quote a few days ago that read "Done is better than perfect" and it was a revelation. It wasn't brand new information, it was more of a shoulder shake to stop wasting time. I have a gift, but I've been too afraid to use it because I'm not well versed in making it look Instagramable. Imagine....!
We can all tell there's something special about 2019, I don't want any of these magical opportunities to pass me by because I can't make me perfect. I can't cry about not winning the lottery, when I haven't purchased a ticket. You know what it is you want to achieve this year, deep down where no one else is looking. Listen my dear, done is better than perfect. Done at least puts you in the running. 2019, we must at least try, so forget the frills and just do it. We can learn how to garnish as we go along. Let's just get going!
