Hey! Great question! I think it's knowing that failing is inevitable. The worst thing they can do is say no, and you're no different from where you were. You tried, and that's a step!

Hi Hudson,
I think a lot of the time it looks like courage, but it’s usually not fearlessness. Most people who “just go for it” are still scared and they’ve just learned how to act with fear instead of waiting for it to disappear.
A lot of that attitude comes from experience: realizing that failing, being awkward, or being judged isn’t as catastrophic as it feels in our heads. Some people also care more about what might happen if they don’t try than about what could go wrong if they do.
And honestly, some of it is practice. The more times you push yourself a little, the more normal it feels. Courage isn’t something you’re born with, it’s something you build one small “okay, I’ll try” at a time.
