Ira Glass on Storytelling.

Although this was intended for storytellers, it can so much relate to everything else.

As for me, I am an over-thinker, and a (sort of) perfectionist. And more often than not, I back down from a challenge even before I start it, it’s like I’ve psyched myself out, thinking “What if I’m not good enough”, “What if this things I’m doing/going to do isn’t good enough”, “I don’t have a clue what I’m doing, what I’m trying to do”, “Can I really do this”.

I get psyched out. Even when I do force myself I just sit through it, and try my best. I often feel, my best isn’t good enough. The perfectionist in me, never ever wants to showcase anything I’ve completed. Well, it’s either that or I simply give up halfway. Self-defeat. Thinking it won’t even turn out as good as I imagine it to be, so why try.

Ira Glass puts it beautifully. To just keep pushing forward. & that it takes time.

So, here’s to me, pushing forward. Taking my time.
