Meaning
This reads as a calm answer to difficulty, not a denial that the storm is real. It points to learning through trouble, where fear gives way to skill and confidence as the speaker figures out how to keep going. It lands when someone is mid-change, starting a hard job, or trying to trust themselves before they feel ready.
