Shatter the idea that you have to be the best at something to be successful at it. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been practicing what you do for a long time or if you’re new at it.
What matters is that you do it.
No matter what they say, think, or tell you what to think.
The fact that you’re doing something is all you need to know you’re successful at it.
I used to live by the standards of others growing up. We all do. It’s how we learn. Our conditioning. But not living up to the standards of how others think you should live your life can become negatively reflected by those who don’t even know what you’re going through at the time.
I was called the black sheep. I was told I was misguided. An under achiever. Untapped potential. But what nobody knew at the time, even me, was that I was differently abled. Now I know I started experiencing symptoms associated with hyperimmunity and chronic fatigue early in life. But to everyone around me, I was just ‘lazy’ and ‘sucked’ at everything I tried.
Even now, every day I relearn how to do everything. How to human. It’s a side effect of the symptoms that puts new perspective on literally everything.
And it means you don’t have to ace anything to be qualified to do it.
You don’t have to be an expert at something to have your voice heard.
What matters most is what matters to you.
=D
