Before starting my journey, I wanted to succeed in lots of things.

I dreamed of becoming a football superstar. I dreamed of becoming the “next Bruce Lee”. I dreamed of winning a Nobel Prize.

Dreaming was good… but useless. I never did anything to make those dreams a reality!

Then, one day, I got tempted to win medals in International Science Olympiads. So I started doing physics in an extracurricular club. An hour or two per week. Was it enough? Of course not!

I failed.

Then I changed schools and tried slightly harder. But it wasn’t enough.

I failed.

Then, I tried the hardest possible way while trying to continue my basketball trainings. Guess what? Still not enough.

I failed.

So I prioritized.

I cut basketball completely and paid my full attention to physics.

Result?

I succeeded. 6 medals.

I wanted to program an end-to-end project to gain experience.

But I was super scared. What if I get stuck? What if I fail?

It does not matter. I just started.

Coding and programming every day. Googleing my questions and the stuff I did not understand.

Result? I made an Android App and uploaded it in Play Store.

Is it a great app?

Nah. It’s crap. The UI is crap and the functionality is minimal.

But guess what? I gathered knowledge on how to make a project. Most importantly, I gained self-confidence!

I wanted to learn martial arts.

I felt that experience in combat sports would sub-consciously give me self-confidence. After all, physical strength was the characteristic that determined who lived and who died for our ancestors.

But I was scared. What if they hit my nose?

I was also shy. What if I go to the club and I suck?

But I just started.

I signed up for a class and just attended one.

Did I suck? Of course.

A few months later? Not an expert but definitely can defend myself when needed.

My point?

We are all humans and it’s natural to feel scared when trying new things. It’s convenient for our brains to stay in our comfort zones. That is what we are used to.

But most of us do not want to stay in our comfort zones.

We want to be better, faster, stronger, smarter!

And all you need to do?

JUST. START.

You feel scared? Good. Start practicing.

You feel shy? Good. You will not when you get better.

You are not in the mood? Good. Start practicing.

The moment you stop the excuses and actually start doing the things that you NEED to do is the moment your life will change.

You still need research and you still need to make good decisions on what to learn and do with your life. But whatever it is you are not going to improve if you NEVER START.

Everyone feels fear. Everyone is scared.

The difference is that the winners act even when they are scared.

It’s called courage.
