So many people are stuck and don’t know how to get out. There is no getting out of your mediocrity if you aren’t willing to risk looking stupid, foolish, and amateur. But that is exactly what you are if you’re just starting out. The sooner you embrace it, the sooner you can begin to grow.
But if you don’t push through the early phases of development, you will never reach greatness. You will never transcend your own suffering and therefore can not win. You can not achieve the levels of competence you dream of if you don’t first step out into the unknown and do something amateur.
In every sense, you don’t deserve to win.
You have to first create something that is ugly before you can create something beautiful.
Sometimes the ugly thing is you.
But by journeying out into the unknown, you can become beautiful.
