I think sometimes we look at others and think we could never do what they do or be as good as they are. Any person who has ever learned a skill, first had to learn it at some time. Then they made a decision to put in the time to become good at it and put in even more time to master it. Most people are not very good at something when they first start. That’s normal.
A couple of years ago I decided to learn ice skating. Yes, I was terrible at first. Then with practice and time, I got better. Fast forward 2 years and now I am very good at it and love it. So why would you ever quit before you reached your goal? It was worth the pain I had to go through to get to my goal of becoming very good at this sport. And yes, there was pain!
Find something you are afraid to do because you aren’t good at it or are scared to do it. It could be a sport, public speaking, or phone skills. Once you make the decision that you are going to find the resources and the people who will help you and to dedicate the time daily to developing this skill, you are on your way to mastery. I love what the great Jim Rohn has said when someone asked how long will it take. He said “As long as it takes!” So, keep going, for as long as it takes, and DON’T QUIT!!!
