I’ve been working with a colleague for months to get something working. In particular, this was the key technical step that would allow us to move forward on the project.
Getting it working involved surmounting a lot of hurdles, and there have been many setbacks. But today, for the first time, it finally worked. Hurray!
There are still many steps to be done until the project is completed, and I realize now that I had been holding off on taking those steps. Because what would have been the point of taking those steps until we knew the whole thing is feasible?
So now I can give myself permission to tackle those other problems, and it feels great. It’s like a door opening onto a whole new world.
Time to step through.
