The 10,000 hour rule seems to apply across different studies and skills. At 10,000 hours of practice you are most probably going to be at a high level of skill. So, start practicing now...and every day!

I've lived my life like this for a while now. As a "recovering perfectionist" I've had to force myself to do things poorly. We naturally resist the hard things. If we can create a way to continually challenge our weaknesses we can learn mastery.

This is a tough one but SO worth it. It's about going into anything as though you were a child. Leaving behind all you think you know and approaching it as if you know nothing and that the people around you know everything. To learn from a completely open honest space.

Practice practice practice! The actions are what we learn the most from. The getting out and DOING it. And keep doing it!

This means that it's a process of doing until you start to see small successes which energize you to keep going and it gets better and better faster from there!

The more you know about something the better you will be at it. Every part is critical to your success. And every thing you do with a mind to learn all you can is valuable.

If you told me years ago I would enjoy doing a 5k I would have thought you were crazy. I have redefined pleasure as a challenge. As the satisfaction I get when I achieve something I am afraid to do or try.

A perfect mentor is someone you look up to. Someone who inspires you and welcomes a chance at sharing their knowledge with you.

A mentor is full of actual real life experiences that they can share with you. Their practical knowledge is a goldmine of real lessons.

If I was a builder I would have my end goal. I would make a plan and follow the steps it takes to build something worthwhile. It takes time and it takes working on the plan step by step. Are you a builder?
