The best comeback story you’ll ever tell will start with “I didn’t think I could.”

Doubt is not a disqualifier. It is usually the opening line. The moments worth retelling later are the ones where you did not believe it would work and moved anyway. If you only attempted what you felt sure about, there would be no story in it.

Notice the thing you keep calling unrealistic for yourself. Take the smallest version of it this week, the one that fits in an afternoon. You do not have to feel confident first, and you probably will not.
