Quick motivation for trying new things

When­ever peo­ple want to try out the trav­el­ing rings for the first time, many are often scared they are going suck at them.   I’m always encour­ag­ing peo­ple to do it and am very sup­port­ive of them the entire time because I was ter­ri­ble at it when I first started. I couldn’t even hang on for too long because I was heavy and my grip wasn’t strong enough. Over the past year, I’ve helped dozens of peo­ple try them out for the first time and I’ve seen them improve tremendously.

The first time you try some­thing, is basi­cally the worst you will ever be at it.  The next time you go back, you are pretty much guar­an­teed to be bet­ter at it.

Does that sound bad?  That you’d be the worst at some­thing the first time you do it?  Not really.  That’s just the truth.  You were ter­ri­ble the first time you had sex. You were ter­ri­ble the first time you tried to snow­board. You were ter­ri­ble the first time you tried to not poop your­self.  But you got the hang of it even­tu­ally.  So don’t be afraid of try­ing some­thing new just because you’re going to suck at it.  Who cares!?  Once you try it, you’ll only get bet­ter at it!
