Learning to Walk

Every time I try to do something new it is like learning to walk.  I need to take it one step at a time, focusing intently on the next step.  It appears easy when other people do it but seems so hard as I try to get it right.  I often stumble and make mistakes as I practice over and over again.  After finally mastering something new, it seems so easy that I can't understand why it was so hard to learn.
