Be innovative & be prepared to take initiative in life. When an opportunity knocks door, grab it. Dont let yourself miss out on the good opportunity because you think you dont deserve it. Put your idea in action. Your struggle is not indicative of incompetence, but of determination, as long as you dont give up. Embrace that struggle, and celebrate when you overcome it. Picking a skill and working on learning is a good way to confront your fear because new skill is always demanding & challenging. If you feel youve chosen the wrong skill, and want to move on to something else, thats fine too. It means youre brave enough to admit defeat and not see yourself as a lesser person because of it, and youve taken the initiative to seek out something more fitting. Thats just as good a lesson as anything else this exercise can teach you.
