New beginnings

Just like a new day starts every morning, you are free to choose new beginnings (and endings) for your life.

After a break from blogging, I’m back at posting constantly and shipping my thoughts. I’ve changed my website from Squarespace to Ghost, and my domain from Squarespace to Porkbun (more on that decision in next posts).

I watched a video recently that re-opened my eyes on the value of acting now: Start before you know how. It may be cliche but we all need that reminder once in a while. In a season where I am overanalyzing every scenario in my life, I feel like I don’t take my first steps unless I’m 99% sure where my 50th step would take me.

This video helped me see the face of a fellow creator struggling with his mind in different endeavors. While he thought to himself he wasn’t getting any better, he kept showing up, and wasn’t until years of building evidence, that he can look back and feel proud he didn’t stop. Even when he had doubts about his work, and kept comparing himself to other people further ahead than him, he didn’t quit.

Truth is, you don’t know where your interests will lead you, but living a life of wondering has proven to not work for me.

Whatever it is that you’re thinking about doing, just go for it. Most times, we believe as if any decision we make will have a catastrophic and irreversible event in our life. Sometimes we just need to remind ourselves that starting over is ok, too.

What are you starting out? How can I help you stick to it?
