If you aren’t willing to look like a foolish beginner, you’ll never become a graceful master
There are people around me who cringe when they think I’ve done something embarrassing…but when self-consciousness prevents you from doing / trying things, those regrets eventually pile up into a mountain that blocks your view to all the possibilities. Learn to laugh at yourself (a helpful element of graceful embarrassment), and you may find that the long term joy and satisfaction from trying, outweighs the short term embarrassment.
