Maybe you just haven’t spent enough time on it.
Maybe it feels like you’ve spent a lot of time on the skill you seek to build. Maybe you think you ought to be further along. Maybe you have age peers who are much further along.
But it takes the time it takes to get good, and if it’s worth getting good at, it almost always takes a lot of time.
But the good news is: if you work on your skill today, you’re one day closer to mastery.
How did your peer get ahead of you?
- They started before you.
- They practiced more than you.
- They got lucky with some birth advantages, whether nurture or nature.
- They learned or stumbled on more effective practice strategies than yours.
