In this episode, we discuss the importance of pushing through the discomfort of developing your skills and getting better at what really matters to you. We talk about the struggle of living mediocre lives instead of being brave with our lives and trying new things, and how to overcome the fear of being bad at something or not being willing to go through the discomfort of learning and getting better.
Listen in to discover:
- The crucial gap between "skill and taste" that can help you stop shaming yourself and instead show up consistently for your goals and dreams
- How normal it is to be extremely uncomfortable with doing something (anything) different
- Why it's important to develop your skills and get better at what matters to you
- The struggle of living mediocre lives vs. creating lives we love
- How to overcome the fear of failure
- How to move through the discomfort of learning and getting better
- How to really improve at something
- Whether or nor "having talent" is something you need to worry about
- What it really takes to get better at something
What skill do you want to develop? What are you afraid of? What is one small step you can take today to push through the discomfort and get better? This episode can arm you with a powerful mindset shift to take on anything your heart is calling you to do.
Hoping this episode inspires you to be more brave with your life and going after what you really want.
