It's funny how we assume others just fall into their opportunities ready. Thanks for sharing a great analogy!

I love that attitude - we need all the boosts in confidence we can get.

I can think of a number of ways that writing has pushed me outside of my comfort zone. I even agreed to be interviewed for a writing-centric podcast a couple years ago - and I'm TERRIBLE at giving answers off the top of my head! But I also figured, "Why not do it? I might be nervous this first time, but if it goes well, it will give me a boost of confidence for the next time."

I think of pro big-wave surfers who make Pipeline look easy. Nobody sees the hours and hours of training and practice, and the effort it takes even after you're out there in the lineup.
Thanks!

If you are between Laura and Orly, you're certain to be in good company.

Thanks!

I think there is something to be said for learning through doing. The more you practice, the more you understand what you need to practice. Good luck!

This is such a great piece of advice, Cara. I think slow builds are less likely to burn out.
