Achievers are people with persistence and focus; mastery is their main attribute
Worthwhile goals become a reality only when you repeatedly act toward achieving those goals. Therefore, you must strike the same spot again and again to drive the nail into the wood or wall, like hitting a nail with a hammer. Successful individuals do not get distracted and do not quit; they continue to move toward the goals they seek to achieve.
Great people are diligent and focused. They know what they want, are fixated on it, and pursue it persistently. As a person aiming for great success, you should imbibe these attributes to help you get where you want and give you a sense of fulfillment.
“The scorecard society judges us by is tragically flawed, and pursuing it will leave you completely unfulfilled.”
Joshua Medcalf
When you know what you want, you have a standard of scoring yourself: no competition, no external pressure, just you and your goals. And if you get behind on your goals, you can monitor your progress and work more to get where you need to be.
⚡️Being true to yourself makes persistence and focus work for you.
Mastery is the result of carrying small bowls of water from time to time; it is the result of chopping small logs of wood over time. You master something through deliberate actions. They don’t have to be extraordinary, but they need to be consistent. You should turn them into habits and increase their number as time passes. Like everything else, you can learn mastery; all that is needed is to follow the principles that teach it.
Mastery does not happen overnight; it takes a lot of effort, skills, and persistent hard work. To excel and be a master at anything, you must not rely only on talent but also on adding some hard work and giving it your all.
⚡️When talent is unrefined, hard work will overtake it every time.
Harness all your powers and skills to provide you with mastery, and allow your hunger for it to reflect how you live your life, make your choices, and how much energy you put into your work and the time you put into it. Then, let everything you do impact the result.
Remember to be patient with yourself when you start to take steps toward mastery; remember the old saying, “Rome was not built in a day.” Just ensure you watch yourself and see that you are moving forward in the right direction.
