I have a problem. My problem is that I have high standards. So high that I become stagnant. I compare my not-even-started project with someone else’s highly successful completed work, and I give up before I begin. But today I read something that makes me realize the fruitlessness of this attitude. I clicked on a link within a blog post which spoke to what I needed to hear at this moment, and has inserted some inertia into my veins. The link was this quote by Ira Glass about beginners. It is time to stop comparing, to quit being immobilized by fear, and to start. So, today I pick up my (virtual) quill and begin anew.
