Yes. Most answers call for more belief than I have available anymore. Thinking about my own hesitation to act on something, I guess encouragement to do something difficult has to be in your own context. Lately I have been trying to combine JFK'S moon speech and something Julia Hubbard said about exercise.
"We do these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard."
and
"Exercise is a gift that you give yourself."
We have to find the hard things to do that we deserve, but also find the real value of ourselves to our personal future. There's selflessness, and then there's "fawning": and for too long, too many of us have been fawning to a System or cultural norms that keep us helpless and hiding from our own gifts. We may be that nickel's worth to those systems, but it's possible that their nickels are all worthless when we stop competing and comparing ourselves to a toxic system.
