I read your first sentence and I thought "Yes, just like painting" and then you hit me with:

Painting is a good example

While I agree with your point, I believe this post is just psychological pep talk aimed at people like me (and probably the author) who dance around in endless preparation/postponing because they can't bring themselves to do the ting. It's generally an emotional issue: You are afraid of messing it up or of the consequences of the thing etc.

I wish I didn't but I need that kind of pep talk in my life
