I know your room could use some cleaning and your desktop “needs” to be decluttered, but if I remember correctly, you scheduled this block of time for one singular task: to create. And would you look at that, it’s clearly written in your calendar, right after “meditate” and just before “lunch.” In fact, it’s even underlined and highlighted! So with all due respect, I kindly request that you sit down at your desk, put your creativity cap on, and get to making something. Make that “something” that only you can make. Don’t let it die in your mind before it’s even taken its first breath!
I know what you’re thinking… “What if nobody likes it? What if nobody cares?”
It’s alright. Don’t worry. Does making this “something” make you happy? Does making it make you lose track of time and maybe even make you forget to eat? Then it’s worth your time, regardless of who else likes it or who else cares.
“Well, what if it doesn’t turn out the way I imagine it in my head?”
My friend, the only way you’ll get it to turn out “right” is to make it “wrong” first. Besides, there’s no such thing as “perfect.” Only better. It would indeed be more accurate to say, “practice makes better.” You might believe that being a perfectionist is a good thing, that it means you set high standards for yourself. In reality, it’s more likely that you’re just trying to avoid failure and/or that you don’t feel like you’re good enough.
But you are. Rest assured, you are. And so is this “something” that you’re about to make. So here. I made you some tea. (And actually, while you were busy worrying, I cleaned your room and decluttered your desk! 😉 ). Now, please… CREATE.
Love,
Your Friend
