The Best Thing I Unlearned this year: Waiting For the "Perfect Time"
If someone had asked me in 2020, six years ago, why is wasn't pursuing my dreams and trying to accomplish my goals. I would've told them
"The timing isn't perfect yet.."
"I don't have enough money to start,"
"I'm not mentally stable,"
"I'm waiting till I have better and more standard equipment."
The truth is that procrastination is a killer of any accomplishment. My idea of perfection was just fear, wearing a different outfit.
One of the things I've unlearned this year is that I needed a perfect timing to start anything. There's no such thing as that. If I were to wait for that timing, I'd wait forever. If we keep on waiting, many opportunities would pass us by. I wonder how much let pass by me.
I started working with what I had. I began taking baby steps, learning new skills and growing them.I started writing stories for blogs, sharing my thoughts confidently, exploring freelancing.
I understood that failure was part of the learning process and a part of success. Mistakes become lessons when we learn and grow from it. This mindset made me less afraid of taking risks and trying new things.
When I fall, pick myself up immediately.I still experience setbacks despite the lessons and experiences, but the difference now is how I deal with those setbacks. I mostly focus on progress instead of perfection.
I sincerely believe that practice makes perfect. I keep showing up, I keep learning and improving in every aspect.
The biggest change I experienced wasn't from learning something new but from letting go of an old belief that was setting me back.
What is a good belief or habit you've unlearned that has made your life better?. I want to hear your story in the comments.

It's always better to start and make mistakes than to never try because of fear of failure.
As a good rule for Hive, make sure you give proper credit to images that aren't your own. 🙂

You are so correct in that there is no 'perfect' time for any one project. Doing through small steps and working with what is at hand is a wise approach. Thank you for sharing. !LADY

Your post is very interesting. I'm sure many people can relate to your procrastination problem and will be inspired by how you're overcoming it.
I wish you success in everything you do. Thanks for sharing.
A few years ago, when I started making YouTube videos (shorts), I only posted the ones I thought were the best, the ones I considered perfect.
That year, I didn't reach that many people. Then I started posting imperfect videos, of things that happened in my day, without much editing or planning a script.
I began to notice the difference: people interacted more with those imperfect videos. They identified with them more.
That's when I understood that this is what human beings are like; we are imperfect, and that's what connects us to others, not trying to be or have an immaculate and perfect image.
