It is difficult to do things that one is not good at. But it is thrilling at the same time, trying new things. Nowadays, I have joined an ultimate frisbee team. I had no idea how official the whole thing would be. Or all of the terms and strategies that I would need to know. My team is very gracious with me, taking the time to teach me, and not looking at me like I am dumb when I ask the most basic of questions. So that is nice.
It is frustrating though, to not really know what you are doing, to run around, not doing much that is super helpful. (but having good effort in in none the less) I feel like if I understood more what was going on and what my contribution should be, then I would be better. And I'll get there I think. After all, I have been playing for just a few weeks. But you how you just wish that you could be good at everything right away? And who knows if I will ever be good at frisbee anyways.
The important part really is the stepping out, the trying something new. The being willing to do poorly in order to learn and grow. The challenge of trying something new in order to learn a new skill, or outlook, to get a new experience.
In order to try something, you need to chance failure. And perhaps things will not go poorly, but just amazingly. Even better! But to know if you are any good at something, or in order to try something new, you take a chance and a risk. And it is so worth it!
