Don’t let pain stop progress
Showing up, it isn’t free. No pain, no gain.
You give space to the outside world to judge your work. Putting who you are in the town square means the crowd can sling stones at you. When you ship constantly, this isn’t a matter of if, it is a matter of when.
Also, we are our worst critics. Your internal critic plays off of any sound (and no sound at all for that matter) to “confirm” your self-doubt. When you don’t ship, you make excuses.
You open yourself up for pain.
With that said, we have to remember winter facilitates spring. An eternal summer creates a desert.
Pain is the first step towards growth. It clears a path so our inner selves can test our mettle and eliminate our assumptions.
We get to make good on an idea.
That’s impossible when we hide.
Hiding from pain means hiding from growth.
