You are more capable than you think.

Most people won’t tell you that. The world will make you feel small. Rejections pile up. Deadlines feel impossible. And sometimes it feels like quitting is the only way forward.

But here’s the truth: if you’ve made it this far, you already have a level of grit, intelligence, and persistence that few people ever reach.

You don’t need to “prove” yourself to anyone. You don’t need the world’s permission. You are already one of the most capable people in the room.
