I think I can particularly relate to this post, I’ve had so much “beginners’ luck” in the past that when I fail, it actually discourages me to
try again. I’ll rather say “I’ve grown past that” or “maybe this one’s not for me, when mine comes I’ll know” just to compensate for my unwillingness to try something I thought I could “originally” do. This puts things into perspective for me, if I succeeded then, I’ll succeed again at it.
I totally understand how that feels! It's easy to fall into the mindset of thinking something isn’t for you when initial success isn’t followed by continued wins. But it's great that you’re seeing things differently now. Just because you succeeded once doesn’t mean it was a fluke—if you did it, you can do it again. Setbacks are just part of the journey. The key is to keep trying, even when it feels discouraging. You've got what it takes! Keep pushing forward! Like always, many thanks for reading my perspective and giving feedback. I wasn't sure of the article as I thought the concept might be one a lot of people may not connect with. However, your comment and the examples you gave showed that you resonate so well with the concept, and I am glad how it has helped you put things into a positive perspective.
This is a really insightful piece, I was particularly intrigued by how well you illustrated the analogy of the young genius and the old masters and how one can leverage the blend of this two concept to continually reap the benefit of beginners luck using the young geniuses mindset and old master experience… You are such a a prolific writer Ekene, Welldone👏
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad the analogy of the young genius and the old masters resonated with you—it's something I feel really captures the balance between creativity and experience. Like always, I truly appreciate your support and encouragement; it motivates me to keep writing and sharing these ideas. Thanks again for your thoughtful feedback! 👏😊
