We need to let go of resistance. There is a difference between amateur and pro. We need to turn pro.
How do we turn from amateur to pro? The ammeter can't think of any ideas. His idea are not good enough. The pro on the other hand works for hours till he gets something done, and that sits back, feeling accomplished.
As Steven Pressfield said, "The difference between an amateur and a professional is in their habits. An amateur has amateur habits. A professional has professional habits. We can never free ourselves from habit. But we can replace bad habits with good ones"
The habit we need to break is resistance. What keep us from doing good work? Nothing. What prevents us from doing good work is ourselves.

Try something new.
Photography. You might get bored of it after a while. And not to say that I don't get bored of it. I do. But you can make the most interesting photograph out of whatever you have, even around your house.
Try different angles. Try to compose your shots differently all the time.
Now, this is not a blog post to say to quit whatever you do to start photography. But I know I'm very passionate about it, and as with everything you do, try to make it interesting.
Say that you've just bought a new car. It's brand spanking new, and you take it out for a test drive for the first time. You love your new car for the first two months. But then you say, eh, I could care less.
If you really love something. Say a sport or something, and you find that you're consistently bored with it, try to spruce it up a little bit. Or try something new.
