The Greatest Growth and Improvement Secret

The Greatest Growth and Improvement Secret

Austin Kleon said this: “If you want to change your life, change what you pay attention to.” It’s from his book Keep Going.

The best of the best musicians do this.  In the secret of their practice rooms, they note the difficult passages, the tricky fingers, the stumbles and flubs and flaws in their delivery and they work on that one area.  They pay attention to what tricks them up. 

So do writers, artists, architects, speakers, teachers, thinkers.  They deal with the hard places, the difficult concepts and they master them.  I didn’t say “they agree with them”.  They understand the concept and they learn from it. 

What are you attempting to grow into?  In what skill are you seeking improvement.  Pay attention to it. 

Basketball players learn to master the free throw shot.  The pros pay attention to it.  They perform it in their sleep. 

We pay attention, and we just might get better at anything we attempt.

A Growth Principle Most Don't Like

A Growth Principle Most Don’t Like

Life and its pursuits is a string of attempts, and fails, and attempts again.  One thing is for sure … we will fail at some point. 

And then we get to try again … fail again. 

Even fail better, cause failing better just might bring us closer to our goal, our dream, our pursuit of happiness. 

What if this really worked?

Routines Work - An Improvement Principle

Routines Work – An Improvement Principle

June 29, 2019

Are you working toward a better you, an improved skill, building a business?  Check your routines.  What are you habits?  What is your time schedule and how important is it that you stick to your schedule?

Routines work.  Commitment to habits and schedules is important. 

As a musician, your practice regime matters.  The warm-up works when applied consistently. 

As a writer, my best writing time is early morning when it is quiet.  I love having the sun rise over my right shoulder as I put thoughts on this computer screen.

Honor what works best for you and stick to it.
