Moving Past Imperfection

The shape of tomorrow is decided by how we fashion the amorphous ideas of today.

To fashion an idea, we must first get it out of our head and down onto paper.

Reading it makes it more real, more concrete. Reading our ideas allows us to elaborate on them.

I have a head full of ideas but an empty bank account.

But also important is to follow thru as much as possible on ideas.

I have hundreds of files containing inchoate ideas. For some reason, I get fearful when I have to expand an idea past its present imperfection to its newest incarnation, which may or may not be imperfect.

The thought of perfecting something is paralyzing. What if I fail? What if I don't know its still imperfect, and I put it out into the world only to be ridiculed?

I can't stand being ridiculed.
