Whenever you start anything, you will suck and you will be embarrassing. You will look back at yourself and you will be embarrassed.
Think about how you were as a toddler, right?
If you do nothing or you do anything, people will criticize you.
They’ll criticize you if you do nothing.
Like think about if you don’t do anything, you’ll get criticism.
If you do anything, they’re like,
‘all he’s doing is—look how stupid it is.’
People will criticize you.
So the idea is:
do things that are worth being criticized for.
And to me,
pursuing goals,
my own goals,
is worth being criticized for.
Like if you believe that you want to make this difference,
make this change,
help people out in some specific way.
I think Alex Becker said this and I just love this: he’s like,
‘you have to embrace the cringe.’
Think about how embarrassing you are probably to your parents or were to your parents when you were a child learning how to be a human.
It doesn’t mean that being human and not living is not worth doing.
It just means that you have to go through that phase.”
