Just get started.
Teaching once again got me in the right mood today. I felt good when I said to my wife's cousin "The longer I've been in research, the more comfortable I've been with looking like a complete fool by saying what I don't know." Einstein said "I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious." (letter to Carl Seelig, 1952). I am not even going to think about comparing myself to him, but I can try to be passionately curious and see where it takes me.
You have to let your curiosity overcome your fear of getting started. Begin before you feel ready.
