Been feeling pretty stressed lately with my startup career and I’m never really sure I’m doing the right thing.

I’ve decided I’m gonna keep going and see what happens. Take the lessons as they come. Keep pushing forward and see it through.

Despite it being difficult (often), I think I just have to keep believing in myself, and acknowledging I’m going to feel doubt about many things I have never done. And in the process of doing them, I’ll learn, progress to a point where I have more experience to solve the next problem, rinse and repeat.

The hardest part has been taking care of myself along the way, but recently I’ve recognized this is a necessity to push myself to limits I’ve never crossed. That’s been helping me physically and mentally, and per the theme of this note, I just have to be consistent and keep at it.

Eating enough to sustain, sleeping enough to recover, exercising and moving my body in ways it has evolved to move (the hardest of the three for me, and perhaps the most important for my mental health).

It’s doesn’t feel like I’m special, particularly talented, or smarter or more knowledgeable than anyone else—but I’ll keep showing up, and perhaps that will be what gets me where I want to be.

I'll tell you something, everything I've ever seemed to actually succeed at never felt like I was succeeding. To the contrary, it seems to always feel like i'm fucking up over and over and over again until something starts working.

The most important factor seems to just be keeping at it despite feeling like an idiot and like nothing is making progress... but showing up again anyway.
