Just do it!
To tell you the truth this blog post isn’t perfect far from it but members here changed my perspective and I do agree with them; you will never accomplish anything because of one person and one person only: drumroll please,……. YOU.
Well, no surprises there you probably knew that, but let’s be practical, for example; for me lack of inspiration was and is my biggest problem but with time I am learning to overcome this. I’ve realized that if I am to wait for inspiration I may as well wait for the world to end coz that’s how long it’ll take for it to come.
So I decided to get off my ass and just do it, take this article for example I just took my laptop and started writing didn’t know exactly what to say but here we are a full post and not bad for some 10 minutes work.
The thing is and this is key just, do it ignore all the little voices in your head that say, you can’t do it, you don’t deserve it, it’s too hard, I’m not talented enough, I don’t have the tech skills, too much information, it’s so overwhelming, I’m too busy, and this one’s a doozy I may fail (I don’t like to admit this fear esp to myself)
Well some of that may be true but that shouldn’t stop you, do it anyway, even if you don’t you’d still have failed without the benefit of gaining knowledge. It’s okay to fail in fact it’s almost guaranteed you will but the difference between the successful people and the rest is that they don’t fear failure, which is inevitable, or let failure cripple them, they look at failure as part of the learning curve.
The more you acquire knowledge the more each one of the above fears becomes smaller and smaller till they become distant memories that you just laugh at, that is if you do not give up, learn from a mistake, talk to people, find out where you went wrong and how you will improve and move on.
The more you act the more you learn..
I’d say this post is more therapeutic than anything
Now I just have to back it up, put my money where my mouth is etc

Your "self talk" is a great post! Something we all need on occasion. Thanks for the reminder.
I think this post will prove very helpful for many here at WA, it is something which was told to me when I was thinking of giving up my internet dream. Now I'm here giving it my best shot.
Thanks for the reminder!

Love your post, it sure hit the nail on the head! I am also prone to 'excusitis' (always giving excuses for myself), which need to be tackled head-on, to get somewhere in this online journey! Thanks for the reminder, and wow, you sure can write, you did it in 10 min! Hats off to you:)
