Overthinking

I stop myself before I even had a chance to create something.
I want it to be perfect to be worth sharing
I strive for perfection
All that however, usually results in ideas never seeing the light of day
- I usually then regret not creating anything
- I feel discouraged
- I miss the chance to connect with other people, to get their feedback, share ideas

I received an email from Patti Smith and this time I took a few minutes to have a look, not just set for later
- Substack
- I am growing fond of this lady! I first noticed her in her performance during Nobel Prize Ceremony where she made a mistake in a song and had to stop and restart again. What a character! She stroke me as a kind soul and most important very humble!
  - She was singing Bob Dylan's song: A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall
The title was: A Video Message
- Test one (sorry I had an itchy nose)
- It's new and it is a test
- Ask for help and feedback
  - Humbleness
- I'm just going to do this, not going to do an elaborate preparation

How much time have I spent researching, preparing, fine-tuning, and then as I was never happy with it, just showing it away

I love research! I love exploring options and discovering new ones. Looking at things from different angles.
- Depuzzling
I tend to spend too much time in my research "comfort" zone. To the point, I feel stuck / chained by all I don't know.
So much I don't know
Other people are experts, who do I think I am to try this?
Perhaps I should watch more videos, complete a course, find a mentor, talk to peers, order, and also read a few books on the topic...

While researching is certainly fruitful, too much of everything could be also overwhelming.
Some things can be learned faster by experimenting, trying, experiencing
Unless I a going to transplant a heart or send a rocket to orbit, trying won't hurt.
