Just Show Up [TMR #066]

When I find myself getting unmotivated or feeling defeated, it is almost always because I feel like I should be further ahead or that I feel like I’m just not making any progress.

And really, that’s often the truth.

I tend to get stuck on great ideas and trying to perfect them, even though I know all of the fancy motivational platitudes: “money loves speed,” “fail quickly,” “done is better than perfect,” etc.

Yes, we all know that, but those don’t help when you’re truly stuck.

What I’ve constantly had to remind myself of is that anything is more than nothing. Just showing up consistently will do wonders that perfection never will.

I tend to get paralyzed by analysis and perfection when really what I need to do is just put out what feels like “garbage” to me. Just hit submit, no matter what.

And that’s what I’m doing here. I hope it is a reminder to you all as you head into another week.
