“If perfection could be attained, it would not be worth having.”
Japanese Proverb.
It’s not so much about where you start OR where you end up, but how you travel.
If there is any wisdom to be taken away from the above quote it might be drawn out from this principle.
This video is not the best I have ever made. I won’t go into the reasons here, I think it is fair to say that anyone viewing it with a critical eye will see all the places it falls short. That said, it is my first attempt in this series.
The notion of perfectionism can hold people back from ever trying. It is one thing to be driven to want to produce the best creation that you can, whether it be a video for Youtube or your life. It is another to hold off from acting in the world. Whether this desire for perfection comes from a fear of making mistakes or a sense of not being enough unless we can accomplish perfection, or any other reason for that matter, not to act towards something will invariably leave us siting by the side lines of life, watching the world happen around us.
We will see what they look like by the time I get to the end.
The point of the exercise, and the invitation to you is to start? Act towards the goal and then see where it leads. After all, that is what the challenge is about, getting better at making video content and putting something out there. It is about the challenge, and growth is, quite often, an uncomfortable process.
Also, it is possible that after 30 days I might just discover that video is not a medium that works for me – or me presenting myself through video in this way might not work best at this time. I might find that I am better suited to a podcast or blog posts, I don’t know. What I do know though, is that as long as I stick at it, I will find out.
“You won’t know until you try.”
Saying.
Anyway, here it is….
