Oh, hi friends!
Plan.
Start.
Continue despite surprising obstacles, mental blocks, disagreements, general tiredness, procrastination, self-doubt, impostor syndrome, malaise, money worries, future worries, failure worries, comparison games, and professional envy.
Finish.
Repeat.
It’s the same for every project.
But once we realize that we do know where we’re going — we’re going to finish — maybe all the in-between stuff can be seen for what it is.
A long row of mountains, each with its own climate, summit, and narrow footholds.
You will stare up the mental block mountain, and the tired mountain, and the self-doubt mountain, and the many, many worry mountains.
But here’s the secret.
You’ve packed all the right gear. You have everything you need. And you’re not turning back.
Keep climbing.
