Starting something new is hard. Those first 15 minutes of sucking, sucks. But then, all of a sudden, you begin to have more knowledge, more experience, more industry know-how. Then, finally, you discover how easy it is to do what you set out to do, but then you stop going for it because you realize it’s easy to do.
I’ve had this happen to me a few times. I get an idea. I follow the idea – learning a lot of information and connecting with a lot of people – and then I realize how easy it is to accomplish the idea and then that idea I had loses its sex appeal.
I’ve written a novel already. I know what it takes to write a book. Many of my friends are authors. All the sudden, I don’t have an urge to write another book even though I know how beneficial to my fans (you?) it would be. Sure, I’ll change my mind on this one day, but one day isn’t today and that’s sad to me.
It’s sad that the easier something becomes, the harder it becomes because we so often define the worth of something by the level of difficulty in completing/creating it.
Perhaps we’re better off challenging that mindset.
Easier is better.
Less work is stronger work.
Shipping is more important than having the ability to ship.
Stay Positive & Easy Or Hard, Completion Is What Matters
