Searching for Solution

I have been reading Failing Forward by J.Maxwell, thinking a lot about my attempts to do art.
One of the artists I know, put on his website a retrospective of art projects he has been working on for the past three years. He worked on them in the same time, not one after another. As I thought of that, I saw the difference between his and my attempt. He always searches for new ideas and new solutions for his art projects.
As for me, I have an idea, want to do it, so I get materials for the project... and never use them... I have never begin to search for the solution...
Why? I have been asking myself this question for a long time. Now I know the answer.
I used to have fear of failure in my heart. That fear stopped me from searching, experimenting, making mistakes, learning and eventually becoming better.
I have questions. I have ideas. Today I am finally ready to search for answers; I am ready to look for new solutions...
I am ready to find out who I am. I am free to fail!
After all this time of struggle, I feel an incredible joy bursting out of my heart.
I truly feel free to fly!
This blog is actually a visual proof of the breakthrough I am experiencing... I have been waiting for it for so long!

Hey Alicja!
I know exactly what you mean by this fear of failure. That is what keeps me from experimenting and trying different things as well. I buy all those cool things thinking how great it would be to use them...and then don't use it at all, scared of a "not perfect" outcome! But thanks for your post. You've encouraged me.
Love you,
