There's a task at work that I don't do very often. It's an important task related to safety.

I remember the first time I did it. I was so nervous and felt like I wasn't very good at it. "I'll never be good enough at this," I thought to myself.

Now I've done it several times, and yesterday it was time again. Just like the last few times, it went smoothly and without any problems at all. These days, I even look forward to it.

That's just how it is with everything in life. From our first stumbling steps and throughout life, we're beginners from time to time. We do, we make mistakes, we redo, we do it right, we learn, and we develop.

A good reminder the next time we’re feeling lost.
