I like that term - 'perfectionism paralysis'. :-) Go and pick up that DSLR. It's incredibly fun! Promise. Besides, you paid for it, you might as well use it. ;-) Busy Mom: Ah.

I still have to convince myself over and over at times. planningqueen: Way to go! Please let me know how it goes. And, thanks for sharing! Heather: And, it's a decision that need to be made again and again. At least, in my case! ;-) And, yes... I love what you just wrote there. Thanks! Kari: Absolutely. :) It’s not always easy, though.

It's very freeing to give yourself permission to create bad art, or whatever it is you're doing. That it doesn't matter if you do create good, bad or indifferent art, or whatever. If there is a need to create then you should follow up on that need, not deny it. Once you allow creation to have place it's like opening a door to allow better things to enter. ;-) Hi Shai,

Already realised that I have got it a bit wrong, in where I set it up (in the process of changing that now). But I am not being deterred and reading this post reminded me that I even if it does not work out as planned, I will be better off for at least giving it a go.

I agree with your statement though. I'd rather try something and get it wrong than not have tried at all :) That’s true with so many things in my life. I agree with your statement though.
