As Kurt Vonnegut, one of the greatest authors in modern time said,

When I write, I feel like an armless,

legless man with a crayon in his mouth, but he still did it.

And that's the kind of thing that you're going to hear from the greats.

You're not going to hear that it was easy.

You're not going to hear that they felt swab and cool.

Even the greatest of all time have that awkwardness,

not clumsiness.

Not quite as good as they want to be, but what I want you to understand is even though Kurt Vonnegut said those words,

he wrote tons of books that changed people's lives,

that changed the landscape of literature because despite the fact that he felt awkward and clumsy,

he kept doing it and doing it and forcing himself to move forward,

to take one step after another, even when the process was not exactly rewarding.

He believed in something.

He knew that what he was trying to do would ultimately get better.

He knew that if he wanted to accomplish something great,

that he had to push through the awkwardness,

and that is the very trick to getting great.

You just have to do it.

You have to go, you have to take that first step, you have to push,

you have to drive, you have to strive every time to get a little bit better.

You have to strive not to fall prey to your own doubts and insecurities.
