“Only those who have the patience to do things perfectly will acquire the skills to do difficult things easily.” Friedrich Schiller
When you’re new to an activity, chances are that you’ll be mediocre, or maybe even bad at it. But with regular, intentional practice, you can improve. Depending on the difficulty level, this could take a long time. But if you have the patience and persistence to continually work on your craft, eventually you will acquire the skills to make that once-difficult activity easy.
Anything worth having won’t come free. If you really want it, you’re going to need to put in the effort. And when the going gets tough, that’s when the real decision comes into play…do you double down on your efforts or walk away from that activity, thinking it was only a pipe dream? If you choose the former, try to find a different, but better way of achieving the result you want. If you choose the latter, if you choose to give up on your goal, realize that that’s something you may always regret.
