The fact that you are showing up and trying means you are outdoing 99% of everyone else. Many of us what for conditions to be perfect or until we are ready to start working on our goals and achieving our dreams. But like Lemony Snicket said, “If we wait until we’re ready, we’ll be waiting for the rest of our lives.”
You must be willing to out yourself out there and do the work. You must be willing to fail and gain that experience so you can succeed. You have to be willing to fall over and over again. Because falling is part of the process. What is going to define you is how well you rise after falling.
Along your journey you will come across people who doubt you. I’ve experienced people who I thought were my biggest cheerleaders get jealous of my success and try to pull me down to where they were. If someone does that to you, realize that whoever is trying to bring you down is already below you. Don’t shrink yourself to fit in a place you’ve outgrown.
When you feel doubt creeping in, turn that into your fuel to keep going. If people doubt you, don’t let one of those people be you.
