Quotes to ponder:

"Pain, discomfort, shock, boredom, impostor syndrome, awkwardness, fear, being wrong, failing, ignorance, looking stupid, your avoidance of these feelings is stopping you from a life beyond your wildest imagination."

"Confidence is an effect, not a cause. Identity is an effect, not a cause."

"You just need to walk past the emotional wall, the electrical fence, which paralyzes and imprisons 99% of people."
