Not over night 

Not perfectly 

One step at a time 

Chapter 1 you are still growing 

You are not a finished vision of your self , you are learning, your skills are developing, your ideas are changing, your understanding of the world is growing so don't judge your entire future by where you are today. Maybe you not good at something yet, That okay, being a beginner isn't something to be ashamed of. Every skills begin with something knowing very little and deciding to learn.

Reflect... What would happen if I gave my self more time to learn?

Act.... practice one small skill you're still learning today. 

Chapter 2 CONFIDENT COMES FROM PRACTICE 

Confidence doesn't always come before action , sometimes it comes because of action. You try something, you learn , you make a mistake, you try again. Eventually something that once felt difficult becomes easier: that how confidence can grow don't wait until you completely feel confident. Start small , your first attempt doesn't need to be perfect, it only needs to happen.

Think .... What have I been afraid to try? just take that first step 

Chapter 3 stop comparing your journey 

It easy to look at someone else's success and think you're behind. You see their achievements, you don't see every hour they spent learning. You don't see every mistakes. You don't see every setback, eveone has different starting point , instead of asking "why am I not where they are" ask what can I learn from their journey. Someone else's progress doesn't take away from yours, your job is to keep building your own path

Does that comparison help me grow?

Focus on  one thing you can improve with your own life 

Chapter 4 find your voice 

Your adeas metters , your questions metters, your options metters . That doesn't mean you will always be right. It means you have a right to think, learn , ask questions and express yourself respectfully, you don't need to copy someone else's personality to be confident, learn to communicate clearly, listen to others, speak honestly. And remember that changing your mind after learning something new isn't weekness.

Chapter 6 learn to handle set backs 

A setback can feel like the end of the dream. But a set back is an event, it isn't your identity. Something didn't work ? Study it. A plan failed ? change the plan. You made a mistake?learn from it. Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is start again with better information. You don't have to pretend that disappointment doesn't hurt, you can acknowledge It and still move forward.
