If you're trying something new, remember this: it's always bumpy at the start.

There are no exceptions.

Starting something new will always bring disruption, challenges, and complexity. It has nothing to do with you. It doesn't mean that you're incapable, that you're not good enough, that you should give up, or that you'll never figure it out. It means that you're being brave, that you're building new skills, that you're moving towards what matters most to you.

Soon, you will look back at those bumps and feel a sense of awe about what you were able to overcome—and, at the same time, how much you have grown.
