The need to iterate is undeniable.
The only way to truly learn and understand something is by doing it. Reading books, watching videos, and listening to podcasts will open pathways in your brain. But you need to act out the principles you absorb for those pathways to remain open.
It’s a delicate balance between consuming for knowledge and consuming for entertainment. It’s a balance of ego. Are you humble enough to admit you don’t understand something you wish you understood better?
To better understand something, you must start from where you are. You have to immerse yourself in the subject and embrace the suck. You have to be comfortable with the uncomfortable state of not knowing.
This state of not knowing is where connections begin to form. The more you learn, the more you practice, the stronger these connections become. Over time, as the connections grow, you will start to comprehend the whole.
We all suck when we start something new. When we’re young, it’s easier to accept because everything is new. No one expects us to know much. Then we reach a point in our lives when we convince ourselves we shouldn’t suck anymore. At anything, really. Especially the things everyone seems to understand better than we do.
This is a trap.
Don’t be afraid to suck.
