    This mindset guarantees an endless cycle of starting and stopping.

    The most rewarding experiences in my life include the heat of resistance + fire of transformation.

    That moves you from fear + insecurity into competence + growth.

    The fire burns from facing your fears + alchemizing it through practice + action.

    This is easier to see in hindsight, so I want to remind you and myself that if there is something you are creating and feel the struggle, keep going. 

    You are not burning bridges. You are building them.
