It feels like just yesterday we were celebrating the arrival of a new year and now we're almost at the end of January. I for one did not make the traditional list of New Year Resolutions at the start of 2021, but I did make a resolution. I'm calling it, “New Year Resolutions Lite.” There's only one thing on my list and that thing is: Begin a project and see it through to the end. I know that looks like two things, but for argument sake we'll call it one. For me, the hardest part of starting a new project is getting over the fear of being a beginner. I want to instantly be good at the thing and have all my projects turn out amazing on the first go, but that's not how life works. It takes time, patience, and consistent work to start and finish a project, no matter if it's an art project, writing project, or learning something new. Maybe (like me) you've been putting off a project or putting off learning something new because you're afraid of being a beginner. If that's the case here's a little video pep-talk that I found useful that I'd like to share with you. How to be an Amazing Beginner It was made by a seamstress about sewing, but her advice is applicable to anyone wanting to begin something new.
