How is it Okay to Suck at Something New

How it is okay to suck at something new - a continuation from my previous entry about getting started on a new hobby/project - here's a quick summary in bullet points:

• This can apply to learning a new skill, hobby, even building relationships with people around you or developing a new perspective.
• If we do not start, we end up not starting or giving up altogether. 
• The trick is to take it in small convenient steps. 
• The best time to start doing something is always the present 

1. It's alright to suck at something new, do not be embarrassed whenever you make mistakes:  Mistakes are where people learn the most. 
• If someone scorns you for making mistakes, especially at the very beginning, know that these are not valuable inputs. 
2. When learning gets tough, always do a quick check in with yourself: These are two things that help me personally - 
• (1) ask myself why am I doing this 
• (2) look back at your past works once in a while to see how far you've come and how much you have improved. This keeps me going. 
3. Always know that it is okay to try something new, do it, and realize you don't love it and move along: The is only way you'd discover what you enjoy - by learning something new for a substantial amount of time. I feel like too many of times people tend to put down a person's attempt too quickly by saying they eventually give up mid way. 
• However, the thing is you kinda have to give it (or anything) a go before you truly know whether it's something you love or dislike/hate. 
• And if you do not enjoy doing it, you don’t have to go through a endure going through some kind of a noble martyr doing something just to prove to people you can succeed and be consistent - it is your life not theirs.
