One minute read
Whenever we try something new and complex, doubts seem to dog our every move. And the most common discovery, when we try to gain information about others who have attempted the goal, is the stories of others who’ve tried what you’re attempting… and failed.
This can be disconcerting!
It takes strength to remember their story is not your story. You have a unique set of skills and experience, and you need to ask yourself two questions.
- What resources do I bring to the adventure?
- What other resources do I need, and how can I acquire them? This might be gaining new skills, or finding support from others.
Sometimes we’re told chances are low, but if they’re not zero, let’s go do it. Let’s go have a crack. Who is writing your narrative? Make sure it’s you.
We begin by taking a single step forward, then another. Because every step is a step towards something new.
