Building a spaceship

We often spend a great deal of time and energy in our lives building spaceships. Well, not real ones, but in our heads. We take something simple, and we add, and add, and add until it is very complex.

Each layer of complexity that we build is another layer to stop us from starting something.

Simple things are easy to start so we make them complex, needing perfection before we can do.

Perfection is the shield to stop us starting.

Keep things simple and start.

Razzmatazz

We often mystify and complicate things in order to create reasons not do something or to make ourselves look more knowledgeable and valuable than others. But others see through it and realise it and we are only kidding ourselves.

It is better to keep things simple and easy to achieve, then we gain a reputation for being straight-forward, effective and a person who delivers real value.

Simple things are easier to start, maintain and finish.

Simplicity rather than razzmatazz and complexity.
