Learning curves are steep initially. The first workout is brutal. The first draft is terrible. The first day at a new job is overwhelming. This is normal, not evidence of inadequacy. Mastery requires enduring the awkward beginner phase. Most people quit here, mistaking initial difficulty for permanent inability. Push through discomfort. Practice transforms the unfamiliar into the effortless. What once required immense effort becomes automatic. Trust the process. Difficulty is temporary; skill is permanent. Do not judge your potential based on early struggles. Persistence through the hard phase unlocks the easy phase. Embrace the challenge; ease awaits on the other side.
