how do you know you are bad at something?
have you done it before?
if not, how do you know then?
if so, how will you get better?
what does being bad at something even really mean, anyway?
does that mean you fail?
when did failing become “bad”?
aren’t you still learning?
will you attempt it again?
if so, what have you learned + in what areas will you apply that new found knowledge?
if not, what’s holding you back? what else do you need? more skills? more knowledge? more tools? more support? more time?
do you need help + have you asked for it?
don’t allow fear to stop you in your tracks, fam.
you aren’t always going to reach your desired outcome.
this is what happens when you’re still learning: you live, you learn, you grow, + then you apply what you know to make life a go!
ask yourself: why am i presenting these false claims against myself? am i speaking from a place of fear? what am i afraid of accomplishing?
whether you say you can or you cannot keep going is your decision to make; i’ll believe you either way.
that’s the beauty of choice + living life on your own terms — you make (or don’t make) the moves.
today, what do you choose?
be you, be dope!
