Progress often begins with doing something before you feel qualified to describe yourself as someone who does it.

Identity follows practice rather than preceding it. Waiting until you feel entitled to the label means waiting past the point where you would have earned it, since the entitlement comes from the doing. Everyone who does the thing spent a period doing it without feeling qualified.

Do the activity before you can comfortably name yourself as someone who does it. The name arrives eventually, and it arrives from repetition rather than from permission.
