AM I BRAVE ENOUGH TO SUCK AT SOMETHING NEW
LYRICS
I took a step I stole a glance
Tried something new just took a chance
The past is done the future’s mine to pursue
Am I brave enough to suck at something new
I had my doubts I felt unsure
But deep inside I wanted something more
Pushing along persisting on and on
Learning from failure and becoming strong
Am I brave enough to suck at something new?
Overcome the day I know I’m falling through
No one can change the past by travelling through time
The future’s in my hands I’ll always get what’s mine
Am I brave enough to suck at something new
Challenge myself to break through
Am I brave enough to suck at something new
The challenges may leave me all confused
But my determination will help me as my muse
It’s a risk I take with no guarantees
but the challenge is like a sweet tease
I’ll make it through I’ll imagine it’s a breeze
With perseverance I’ll turn this stubborn key
Am I brave enough to suck at something new?
Overcome the day I know I’m falling through
No one can change the past by travelling through time
The future’s in my hands I’ll always get what’s mine
Am I brave enough to suck at something new
Am I brave enough to suck at something new?
Leaving my comfort zone taking chances too
I’ll face the challenge not knowing what ensues
with every step I take hope shines through
Am I brave enough to suck at something new?
Overcome the day I know I’m falling through
No one can change the past by travelling through time
The future’s in my hands I’ll always get what’s mine
Am I brave enough to suck at something new
You can’t start a new beginning
but anyone can make a new ending
All I need is to follow through
cause I’m brave enough to suck at something new
INSPIRATION
Like so many of our songs, this is about questions I ask myself. I learn by doing, and this song describes my attitude to continuous learning. I must accept that when I try something new, I will initially suck at it, but this should not stop or even deter us from trying something new. This is how the whole song writing and music production process started. Next on my continuous learning journey is making illustrated books and videos for each song. Ironically never starting is the only form of failure there is. Quitting is not an option; persistence is the key. Persistence is about constantly adapting and evolving our approach. It’s the ability to pivot, to learn from failures, and to grow stronger with each setback. Think of persistence as a delicious recipe for success. Nobody can go back and change the past and start a new beginning, but you can make the future anything you want it to be, by starting today and making a new ending. When learning something new, you must be willing to fail at first as it will always appear to get worse before it gets better. It’s because the learning curve is steepest initially. So, you appear to suck at first as you get most frustrated in the beginning, so it seems like you are getting worse initially. It’s a risk you take without any guarantees of success. Are you brave enough to suck at something new? “Am I Brave Enough” is about the importance of taking risks, trying new things, pushing along and persisting on, learning from failure and becoming strong. Are you brave enough to suck at something new. The song is about challenging oneself to break through, and how determination will help as a muse. It encourages us to leave our comfort zone and take chances, because anyone can make a new ending.
