i’ve noticed so many gurus out there saying “just believe in yourself”. Good advice.

But I don’t think it’s that simple for some people.
Certain types of people automatically think they can do anything (even when they’re wrong).

And others need a PhD in the subject before feeling they are any good at something.

They need lots of practice before they believe in themselves, even if they really are just as good at it as their fearless peers.

The people who automatically think they can do anything have wide faces. I’m one of them. I’ll watch the kids at the skate park, how graceful and skilled they are, and think “I could do that with a little practice”. Ha.

People with thin faces need to get plenty of experience to feel skilled.

They’ll watch the skaters and marvel, thinking, “I could never do that!” Even though they could probably pick it up as easily as I think I could.

If you have a broad-face, be kind to the thin-faced people. Don’t look down on them because they feel less capable than you feel.

They won’t always “just do it”. Even though in reality they may be just as capable as you at picking up a skill quickly.
