Don't mess with this "fancy stuff"

I like to try my hand at anything that appeals to me in any way. I have tried many different hobbies in my life, from swimming to writing music. Some hobbies I've stayed with, some I've abandoned. But after many years, I realized one big mistake I've always made. When you start something, you just try and get to some minimal baseline where you can already do something. The next thing that happens is that I want better swim trunks, better equipment, more time, better people around me. This is the main mistake! It is clear that wanting something better is important and especially wanting a cooler environment is a good desire. But you should not dwell on this "desire". You should just do it, all the time. Recently I started to study music more seriously and I had a dialog with my old friend:
-- How's your music going?
-- Yeah, I'm writing a little bit, but I'd like to get a midi and speakers and .....
-- And what for?
-- Well, to make my writing cooler.
-- Pasha wrote all his great albums on a half-broken laptop, why do you need all that stuff?
And then I realized.

The point is, you should just do it. You like to write music, write music, not wait until you buy a cooler keyboard and a more expensive guitar. You like to swim, swim. You like to run, run. It's clear that everywhere you can equip yourself with something cool and fancy equipment. But real happiness and success comes from consistent and regular work.
