- Goethe
Have you ever thought about what makes you do what you do? We are all motivated and moved by different things. We can stay in our comfort zones and just go with the flow, or we can find the courage to take a step forward toward something that speaks to us. We really don't need anyone to encourage or acknowledge us for what we do: the compliments are usually balanced by the criticisms. We need to hear, but we do not need to listen. We know why we are doing what we are doing. Some are so solid and strong that they don't question themselves. They just move along doing whatever it is they desire to do. While others need prompting to start or keep working on a project, even if it is dear to them. Personally, I have no problem being inspired to begin projects; I have problems seeing all of them through to completion as quickly as I'd like. It seems I can never catch-up and finish all of the things I put on my plate. Maybe that is really a safeguard tactic. If I keep adding to my to-do list, then the perfectionist in me (and others) can't judge any of my finished work.
