It’s natural to be afraid

It's only natural to feel anxious. To be afraid. To worry. To overthink about life, school, work, or the future.

Because, in reality, we're all winging it. Nobody really knows what they are doing until they've done it. All the successful people you look up to are as lost as you are.

The difference? They did it first, so they know more. And they could become specialists because there were none in the beginning. They have failed more than you have, which gives them the experience.

But in the beginning? They were beginners too. They were lost in life and questioned their career path. They didn't know what they were doing.

They just did it.
And they kept doing it.

Until they were no longer confused and learned how to do it properly. Until they gained experience from their mistakes. Until others acknowledged them and saw them as role models. And in the end, they know what they are doing.

So if you're starting something new and haven't taken your first few steps yet. Or if you don't know what you are doing in life...

Be afraid.
Worry.
Overthink.

Feel all the feelings.

But do it. Make mistakes. Fail. And keep doing it.

Because there are only two distinctions between us and the greatest:

They were here first. And they never stopped doing it.

So what's stopping you?

I hope you find this post inspiring.

And whenever life feels too much, remember:

It's not going to be easy,
But it's not impossible.
