Heeey, Was feeling some Avatar action. Here's the original Gaang at their combat prime.
The other day I was thinking about my semi-diatribe about "trying" I posted a while ago.
I realized that I constantly limit the scope of some of my ideas because I feel that I lack the capacity to achieve them to my own satisfaction. I set the bar low, so to speak, because of my perception of the limitations of my artistic ability.
So I started to think...that's probably a huge hindrance on my progression. In my mind, I was framing it as creating a gentle slope for me to climb but it could just as easily be seen as not properly challenging myself.
By doing so, I am casually avoiding that challenging sense of failure. That same thing that I had previously intoned as one of the essential elements of learning and forging ahead.
So here is my an attempt at fighting back that urge. I had an idea that I initially dismissed as "try this later" and I just went for it.
