Beginners with a new skill: let yourself be bad at it before getting sort of good at it

Beginners: you have to let yourself be bad at something before you get sort of good at it.

I cannot stress enough that learning a new skill takes time, and you need to be comfortable with being bad at it for a good while before you get sort of good, and that the journey of bad to sort of okay varies from person to person - and that is okay and very normal.
