do you ever wonder- I would be able to do ‘X’ if I had ‘Y’ thing 🤔!
(‘X’ can be anything like workout, making videos, writing blogs and ‘Y’ for these situation may be a Gym Membership, a top notch Camera, don’t have a topic in mind respectively ,,,, etc )
Well we all often end up being in this situation, especially when we are starting something new!
I have been there so often, trust me , the only trick to create or do something amazing is to start right where you are, start rolling the wheel and gradually you can get it moving faster and better !
But it would never work if you would always keep waiting for the perfect thing, for example-
You are obese and want to start losing weight 🏋️♂️🏋️♀️, the spiral might look like this
I will start when I feel good
I feel good, let me buy a membership for the gym first
oh I got the membership, but I need a new shoes and gloves
Finally I have the shoes and gloves but let me start next month
Ah it’s next month, I will start on a Monday to make it the start of the week
and guess what , it’s Monday and if you get home a lil late from work, ohh lets start tomorrow !
What if instead , the day you decided to lose weight, right then before all these thought, you decide to go for a 10 minute walk ! Then gradually increase the duration of walk , add some running and stretches and when you are all set join the Gym with all the gear ready and the perfect date ! You would have already made quite some progress !!! 🤯
Like this, we often procrastinate on starting something just because we don’t have the best thing at our disposal, we have to think that it’s never gonna be perfect or good enough in the start !
But we just have to get started !!! ✅
Who doesn’t want to start losing weight at the best GYM in town ? But if you really want to achieve your goal start by taking a small step right now !!! ⌛️
This is how I related to this recently-
Yesterday (Nov 8,2022) was partial Lunar Eclipse in India and I love these amazing astronomical events. So well, I wanted to watch and also capture this .
What I had at my disposal were my GoPro Hero 10 and iPhone 7. These are great for my regular vlogs and videos but not for shooting the moon ! Here I could tell myself that I am not going to be able to capture this 🥲 but I rather thought of using my equipment to the best.
Here’s what I did-
Checked the direction the moon was gonna rise and setup my GoPro on a Timelapse . It was supposed to be between 5:30pm and 6:30pm at my place, so no matter what I would get a good dusk timelapse …
Then I was going for my cycling workout, so made stops every 5-10 minutes and took pictures of the Moon with the best possible settings my iPhone 7 could. Here’s the result-
I know, these are not super good, nor good resolution pics, but it’s my work with the resources I had at my disposal on the go ….. but surely I did my work and this makes me happy, only wanting to improve this.
When I have an amazing Mirrorless camera (maybe a Sony a6400 or a6600 in the future 🤞 I am saving up for,). BOY ! Those will be amazing shots and what would be more exciting would be to see my journey from these pics ….
For me this block could have been with the excuse of not having a DSLR or a Mirrorless camera to shoot the moon , but I shot the eclipse regardless !
Think about this -
Neil Armstrong when he stepped on the Moon- "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
That’s just a step , but has such an huge impact ! Every thing big start with one small step ! The steps add up to create something wonderful in the long run ! Neil Armstrong was the 1 st Human to step on moon but that increased to 12 and now we are again going to send more Humans soon to the moon !
So if you have been thinking of starting something, but don’t have all the resources ? Just start right now with what you have and take the first step, then another, and soon you would have conquered the peak !
Good luck with your endeavour 💯
