One of the most difficult things I’ve learned over the past few years is that going too fast can actually inhibit your growth. Going to a gym and getting a personal trainer to put you on a routine that pushes you to your limits will burn you out as quick as a matchstick. Physical therapists will strongly advise you to avoid stretching too far or pushing yourself too hard when you’re trying to recover from an injury.
This principle applies to just about everything. If you feel like you’re reaching your limit, slow down. Take tiny little bites of things, no matter how slow it takes you, because too much at once *will* overwhelm you and shut you down.

One of my goals for this project is to eventually release a series of animations on youtube, featuring my lovely little hummingbird self. But animation is quite the endeavor to take on for one person, so I decided to start *very* small by making this tumblr instead. We’ll see how far it goes, but as of today, I’ve stuck to my goal of posting something daily.
It’s not much, but it’s a start...and sometimes that all it takes. Plant one little seed, water it daily, and see how far it manages to grow!
