What looks like talent is long and frequent practice and preparation
What looks like skill is lots of practice and persistent revision. Wanting, tinking and practicing to get better.
What looks like luck is preparation meeting opportunity
What looks like motivation is a clear vision of what you want and the willingness of long time practice and possible hardship. You have to commit.
I believe, all growth requires discomfort. You have to learn to love the pain of it, but suffering is optional. It is all in the mind. choose well.
I believe to have a great life, first you have a great day. to have a great day, first you have a great moment. to have a great moment you have to work on what is in front of you. To be in the now, in the present.
Now take this great moment, take the essence and do it again. You will have a great life.
People say you are talented. They don’t see the thousand’s of hours of practice you put in to make it look so easy. Do the work, focus on the process and the results will follow. It takes longer then you think, but it comes sooner then expected.
