one of the biggest traps is thinking that at some point you will finally start living
once you have enough money, once you figure out what you want, once you fix yourself, once your life becomes more stable

you don’t want to spend your entire life frantically becoming competent
you want competence to become so deeply embodied that eventually you can relax because you know you can deal with things when they happen
