Knowing where to start

The internet guarantees that I’ll see at least one thing a day that’ll blow my mind.

After recovering from the joy of being shown something new and exciting (normally via the peeps on Twitter), I’ll often feel a little frustration. Frustration born out of a feeling of inadequacy: “I couldn’t do that, I wouldn’t know where to start”.

But I had a realisation today: that at some time or other, the creators of great things wouldn’t have known where to start either.

“No sh*t, Sherlock” you might say, and I wouldn’t blame you…

For me though, it’s a moment of clarity; instead of worrying about knowing where to start, I’m now going to start where I know.

Practically-speaking, it means pursuing opportunities that are within my grasp but are also ambitious enough so that I learn.

Thanks for listening to my ramble. Hat tip to Andy for the mind-blowing vid.

    That’s a ridiculous stage. Incredible. Makes me want to go out raving.
    PS. You create a lot of great things, so you’re obviously not far off from where you need to be starting.
