I know that I can do it

Six years ago there was a version of you who would have found this week impossible. That person doesn't get consulted, because the things they would have been frightened of have since become admin — the phone calls, the difficult meeting, driving on a motorway in the rain.

Confidence is mostly bookkeeping, and the books are kept badly. Every capability gets reclassified as *obviously easy* the moment you acquire it, which leaves the ledger permanently reading zero. Go and ask what six-years-ago you would have said about a normal Tuesday now.
