+# Stop self-selecting out of opportunities!
+
+**Stop self-selecting out of opportunities!**
+
+So many people see a dream job, a life, a dream girl or a guy, and before they even get close, they say, "no, that's not for me; that's for other people."
+
+"I'm not smart enough."
+
+"I'm not experienced enough."
+
+"In a few years, that's what I will do!"
+
+_But why?_
+
+Yes, you know all of your flaws (of some which you have fabricated in your head), but the fun part is nobody else does.
+
+If you dream of a promotion or are generally frustrated with your progress, you have to start sometime.
+
+**Why not try today?**
+
+Yes, you will fail, but you will also surprise yourself.
+
+It's an overused quote, but it's true; "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take".
+
+I made significant steps in my career early and quickly by showing up for interviews for which I was sure I was unqualified.
+
+I went in with the attitude of "let's see what they ask a Senior Engineer," and then I could learn that.
+
+But something extraordinary started happening.
+
+**I got offers.**
+
+That gave me the confidence to reach for larger opportunities than I would have usually self-selected myself from and take much more significant steps towards my greater goals.
+
+**Do it today.**
+
+Don't just read this and get a momentary confidence boost; live it!
+
+You will hit plenty of no's, bumps, and bruises on the way, but the occasional yes for something we didn't think was possible will make it all worth it, I promise.
