For the longest time, I thought successful people had some special confidence that I didn't have.

Whenever I wanted to start something new—learning a skill, changing jobs, going to the gym, or even talking to new people—I would wait until I felt "ready."

The problem is that "ready" never came.

Recently, I noticed that most people aren't confident before they start. They become confident because they start, make mistakes, learn, and keep going.

Looking back, every major improvement in my life came from doing things while feeling uncertain, not after uncertainty disappeared.

Has anyone else had a realization that completely changed the way they approach life?
