“To be good at something, to do something important, you must first suck at something and have no clue what you’re doing.” – Mark Mason
We hesitate to try because we’re afraid to fail. Yet failing is the incubator for growing, for getting good.
Those who get good fail a lot, learn a lot, and keep trying. They focus less on trying harder and more on trying better with each new attempt.
Until you’re ready to fail, and fail again. Until you’re ready to first suck at something, you won’t get good, you won’t make a difference. You can’t read enough books, or practice enough hours in safety and seclusion. You have to step into the ring, take a risk, and become a contender.
Are you ready?
