Overcoming The Overwhelming Feeling Of Starting New Things
You will be bad at everything new you start.
The trick to starting something anyway is getting rid of your feeling of progress, your ego, or the idea that you should be better than you are.
As soon as you accept that you know nothing at all and that you will be a complete beginner, you take the pressure of yourself.
You will suck. That’s okay.
After all: Why are you starting this?
Why are you doing this new thing?
What is the point?
Is it to get better than the people around you or to make a career of it?
If so, then why do you care about how long it takes?
Success, in any field, is rarely measured by the speed of achieving the success but by achieving it.
When you look at successful people you do not look at how long it took them to get there, but that they reached the success.
Athletes take years of rigoros, daily training that would leave your body broken, before they even get a chance at success.
Actors and Actresses often start with the smallest, worst roles, taking any chance they can get for decades and only then they might become big movie stars.
