There is a handful of reasons why we shouldn’t learn something new, try something different, and master tasks we never thought of mastering before.
At the forefront of all those reasons is that we fear The Suck. Those 15 minutes of being really really bad at whatever we’re trying for the first time. That suck can produce emotions like frustration, stress, and embarrassment regardless if anyone else is around.
Thing is, to process copious amounts of information, to be a maven, to be able to at least do it all (no one said you have to be incredible at it) you have to be open to The Suck.
I’ve learned that when you acknowledge The Suck and call it out and work through it, there’s no end to your ability to process all you need to be good at something you’ve never been good at.
It doesn’t take much. Just a little resilience and attitude to deal with The Suck because you care enough about your abilities once you’re past it.
Stay Positive & Give Yourself Permission To Suck
