A new beginning
After nearly a year of taking the first step to create my blog, I finally hit the publish button! I still can’t believe that I’ve done it.
After my initial enthusiasm with creating the website and writing the first blog, I allowed myself to fall into my usual pattern of procrastination which on reflection, I believe stems from my lack of self-belief. Although I’ve always known that I wanted to write, I just didn’t believe that I was a good enough writer and I still have self-doubts about my writing abilities even at present. However, I’ve learned that I can’t wait to be perfect before doing something, instead I have to start doing the thing I want to get better at and that’s how perfection comes. This is why I decided to hit the publish button on my website today even though I think my writing is not good enough and I don’t know what I’m doing yet.
I know that my writing will improve with practice. As long as I am making progress, I will become better and the important thing is not waiting until I figure things out before pursuing my goals but actually making a start and choosing progress over perfection.
So, welcome aboard this exciting but frightening new adventure of mine and hopefully as I make progress, growth will follow and who knows maybe someday I will look back on this post and think “what absolute nonsense! I am a brilliant writer!”
