That’s right. You’ve no doubt heard it before. Chances are you were the one saying it (to yourself, I do).
We all pretty much suck at most stuff, especially in the beginning, (and sometimes more than the beginning).
If we know what’s good, we know what ain’t. We know what sucks.
But being bad isn’t bad, it just is. The key is not to make it a descriptor. If you aren’t good at something yet, remember the “yet.”
You gotta be willing to be bad to get good.

Thanks Cheryl. Great advice in the last paragraph…
