"The master has failed more times than the student has even tried."

'Imperfect, but Important' - That sounds like a great motto for life. Think I'm going to try that on, walk around for a while, and see how it fits me. :)

this is my sign to grow my KZfaq channel. Thank you Ginny!

Everything you said in this video is ME 🤯! Over the last few years, I've slowly 🐌 been coming to the conclusion of just starting. I've always liked the known and predictable rather than the unknown and unpredictable. I didn't know my beliefs were limiting me and that perfectionism isn't a good thing. It kept me from starting. This was encouraging to me. Thank you, and God bless you ❤.

Here's my issue....time. I know I waste it. I feel overwhelmed with caretaking and sick senior dogs, commissions, etc. I want to start a KZfaq channel, but I don't know how to edit videos. I don't feel like I have time for learning all that, so instead, I buy "things" that will come in handy when I start my KZfaq, and that's as far as I get. I need to get my webpage going. I haven't finished it. I think I have so many things that I think I should be doing to be successful and all I get is overwhelmed and more and more supplies. Maybe I'm scared to fail. I really don't know. Thanks for this video though. I'm happy for your success.

I love this, G. I avoid starting things because in my mind I should already be good at things, but in reality of course I'm not!! Being good at things comes with time and practice and just starting!!

Omg..sounds familiar! My problem is i,m a perfectionist! I just recently got back into my art! After putting it on hold for so many years! Sorry I did,nt start back sooner!

I feel so called out 😅 but in a good way. Thank you

Love this Ginny! I always get stuck in overthinking and chronic perfectionism. Thanks for the reminder about the importance of failure!

I'm with you on this one!!! You've just described me and my life. This video is great for being short, informative, and very inspiring. Like a little kick in the butt from a friend. Thank you for your authenticity ❤

Don’t let perfection be the enemy of the good enough

Absolutely! 💪 Starting is often the hardest part, but taking that first step, even if it's small, can lead to incredible journeys and achievements. Keep moving forward, one tiny adjustment at a time, and watch as those small efforts accumulate into something extraordinary.

This is so me. I'm getting back into art after so many years and trying to find my style. I spent SO much time researching and watching "how to find your art style" and not doing much art. I finally realized I was just scared to create the funky (not in a good way) art that comes along with that style quest, but finally committed to doing some art everyday. I basically made an appointment with myself for 30 minutes a day to sketch and it made all the difference. We all take care of a lot of people in our lives, but we need to also make our goals a priority. Thank you for posting this, Ginny! It helps to know a professional artist goes through this, too. Take care and looking forward to your content as a new sub.

I, too, have that proclivity of wanting as much information as possible before starting something. Though I think it's more a C-PTSD response than anything ADHD related. Working on alleviating that, though.

Love this! If there is ONE life lesson we all need to learn and embrace is to get out of our own way. So important. Thanks for sharing this, Ginny!

Thank you again! I'm just like you; overthinking, analysis paralysis, perfectionism, etc. ❤

I do the same thing when it comes to writing a movie script , i just write instead of thinking to hard about lines but when it cones to writting stand up jokes i am pretty fast with it

❤ thankyou ❤

I just came across this video. ❤️🙏 Thank you.

Wow I can totally relate, much like you I stopped making videos when I reached around 300 subscribers. I also tend to overthink things and want everything to be perfect. I've even filmed a few more videos and not released them, feeling they weren't quite good enough. You've reminded me that it's better to just start (or start again) and not worry about perfection. Appreciate the inspiration and motivation! 💖👍🏼

Your video popped up on my feed at just the right time. I started KZfaq about a year ago, and then I quit; it just became too much to try to fit in with everything else I had going on at the time. That said, I've recently been considering starting it up again, especially in the last couple of days, and then I saw this video today. All that to say, I'm very thankful that you decided to post this video, and even more so for the message (and proof) that it's never too late to try (or start) again...and, as you put it, all that remains now is that I "just start." Thanks again, Ginny, and best of luck to you as you continue your personal and professional journeys!! 💫

thank you in a moment of needing to hear lol , i hope u have a good day

Thank you Ginny

New subscriber and I dig it! This video is right on point🙏

That's exactly what i am working on. It is so hard to start fir me, but then i love it and can not stop😅 Just start! Just start. So true!

yeppp this is me. I wanted to get back to having an art shop and freelance illustration .wanted to have my illustration portfolio done by June - which is next month. NONE OF THIS HAPPENING. :) ugh

This is wonderful thank you!

I was needing to hear that😮

"Just do it" is what I tell myself.

Solid Advice. I tend to throw myself 100% into something and then realizing I chewed off waaaaaay too much. So currently trying to increase my videos, but wanting to 'do or die' (once again) I figured I'd jump straight back into once a week a long form video, which in reality is a huge stretch with the time I have available. So now I'm trying to show up at least twice a month with long form content and 2 times a week with shorts. Just until that becomes normal and runs smooth and then increase the amount I publish. It's those small micro changes. Funny enough, I actually just started applying that to household chores. Instead of mopping my entire floor, hurting myself and exhausting myself in the process, I just do a small section every day for the week and it's clean by the end of the week (just to be messed up again by 4 kids, but at least I don't feel overwhelmed).

Very helpful, well done

Sometimes we just need a video like this to keep going. Thank you Ginny! :)

Cool...was reading a book today called atomic habits and then came across this video. Great video it helps, really.

That’s me - still stacking 😂

Random question: what are you using to create the handwriting animation at the end?

Eu entendo perfeitamente o que você diz, é importante que façamos e será perfeitamente imperfeito no início, mas o que é a perfeição? Penso que é uma aglomerado de pequenas imperfeições. Gratidão por suas palavras.
