Hi.
For the past few days I’ve been working hard on a new project.
I started full of excitement, ready to go at it.
I’ve made quite a bit of progress, and I’m happy with the way it’s going.
Only yesterday, just before I went to bed, I stumbled upon something that makes everything 10x more difficult.
When I started I was on fire, but this was like a bucket of water splashing over me, extinguishing the flame at once.
As I was laying in bed I thought about it, and realised I have a few options.
I could quit. For sure the easiest, but it would mean giving up something that got me excited.
I could pause the project, and decide to pick it up some other time. This will also be easy, but in reality I’ll probably never get back to it because the next task is quite daunting.
I could sit down with the problem, and see if I can find a way around. This is difficult, and will probably take a lot of time. But it would keep the dream alive, the project wouldn’t be a failure.
I don’t want fear to dictate this next step, so I’m going to try. Try to make this project into something I can be proud of. It’ll be hard, but I’m eager to get started.
Who knows, maybe this will actually become something good.
And if not, I’ll be another experience richer.
Mark
