Facing the Giants

I have it on it's back, bearing it's neck to me in submission. Just a few days ago, I wanted to give up, but I've stripped the paint and re-applied two coats, because I had help to face my giant.

What is my giant? Discouragement, fear, lack of knowledge, lack of experience, uncertainty, sense of failure, low expectations...
All of that rolled up in one, when I try something I don't have much experience in, and things start to go poorly. I would have walked away, but Mr. Contraptioneer, who has been playing in paint this Summer as well, spoke encouraging words, and a bit of wise instruction, and I'm back on track.

Thank you for cheering me on, good sir!
