On the path of learning there are many distractions that derail many.
The reason it is called a learning curve is because it is continuous and not just a random collection of points.
It requires continuous effort and dedication if you want to improve. Discipline to make the learning process a part of your life. It is waking up early to fit in practice before the day starts. It is showing up to practice rain, hail or shine.
Read any biography of anyone truly great (and I don’t use that word lightly) and you will notice the dedication, the sacrifice, the discipline that got them there. It is not easy but the choice is yours.
And when it comes to any deep learning it takes dedicated time and effort over time. Not a week or two but years.
I remember some great advice given to me when I started learning Aikido:
“The first ten years are the most difficult.”
That is the dedication I mean if you want to learn anything and become proficient.
Think of how long an athlete trains to compete at the Olympics or a musician to become good.
Think process not goal. It is a journey of discovery.
“A thousand days of training to develop, ten thousand more to polish.”
