By Isaiah Trevino –

Oftentimes, we believe that in order for us to start something in life, we must already be pretty good at it or have all the right tools to begin whatever creation or venture we have in mind. This, also, is the reason why many of us never start or try something different during our lives.

We fear not being good in the beginning or never being able to improve over time, and that paralyzes us from ever trying, even if we really love it. If this has happened to you or is currently happening to you, don’t worry! This truly happens to lots of people. It is important for us to realize why we are afraid to start something new in the first place. 

I’m currently reading a book about the Savannah Bananas and this is something that has stuck out to me; the fact that they knew they didn’t have it all yet figured out, but still decided to go out and learn as they go, is something that I have taken in my life personally. I feel that everybody should. 

I started posting a lot on social media in January 2022. I wanted to start creating content surrounding one of my passions in life, and that’s the gym. I have always been into content creation and once I saw that there was a lane for it for the gym, I decided to take a leap. I bring this up because at the beginning, my content was not the best and I really wasn’t sure what I was doing. I just knew in order to be successful, you have to remain consistent and learn as you go. So, that’s exactly what I did and I’m still creating content now.

I decided not to wait until I learned absolutely everything about content creation; instead, I learned as I went, and I had some trial and error on the way. If I would have waited for the “perfect time”, I may have never started because there is never a perfect time. There is a right time though, and that right time is now. 

This is going to happen with everything that you try that is brand new, so don’t be afraid to fail early in order to succeed later on. Try those new things, and don’t let the fear of being bad in the beginning, keep you from even starting. Fail forward, and learn as you go.
