For a very long time I considered myself a "stupid naive kid", but I've only recently realized that we're all like that at the start. The difference between a more "successful" version of you is the amount of mistakes that you have made in time. Which is a direct proportion to the amount of action you've taken.
The game is not about hitting one milestone after another. 99% of the actions I take I know will be wrong, and I'll fail. I embrace it. Learn to love failing as that's the only thing that will move you forward.
Failure to success is like gas to your engine. Be a 5 liter V8. Fail as much as possible, as fast as possible.
For example:
I have failed in the last week more than most will probably fail in half a year. Why? Because I know I've got a process to build or a thing to figure out. I know that "how" is not important. I know what's important is action.
So you give it a little thought and a lot of action with the intent of failing. You know that after attempting multiple different approaches one will get you the desired outcome. So you iterate, iterate, iterate and get to the point where you've got the thing you desired.
It's all mindset, rarely about existing skill set.
