How to keep going when you suck at something

I’ve been creating content for several years now – and I still suck. Sure, I’m getting better, but on an objective level, I suck.

My videos aren’t well made or edited, my blog posts aren’t long enough, and my photography is subpar.

But I’m going to continue.

Every great artist, entrepreneur, writer, producer and creator sucked at one point.

Today I did a Facebook Live and my hair was all over the place, I stumbled when I spoke and I felt so awkward I didn’t even want to watch it back after it was posted.

I’m going to do another one tomorrow. Even though I don’t want to. Even though it feels like a waste of time. Because I once heard a story about Steve Jobs: he took a calligraphy course at college and felt like it was a waste of time. And yet, many years later, the very reason people love his computers are for the beautiful design.

No creative pursuit is ever a waste of time.

I might suck right now, but I’m going to get better.
It might take 10,000 hours, but I will get better.

So if you’re struggling to continue creating or practicing or training or learning something, just keep going.

It will be worth it.
