Practice Is What You Need – Common In Every Craft
Sitting on the beach, playing with a guitar and humming thelatest song is the dream you always envision. But the beach isn’t nearby, theguitar is costly, and singing voices needs to be practiced.
The masters seem to have an easy way. They come on the stageand rule the audience. You wish for a magic spell like that.
But you weren’t born in luxuries home where servants cateredyou; money was thrown for you to explore ten different art forms and practicallymade sure that you succeed. Being born in the middle class is terrible. Youtake a sigh because at least you weren’t born in a poor family where the onlyquestion you might be wondering was – ‘when will the next food come from.’
You let your dream be just that. There is no magical elementto help you, push and make you the next star.
Follow your passion seems like hollow words successfulpeople say so that people like you can do something to pass their time.
But they intentionally don’t tell you the magic sauce whichmade them successful. Sometimes at night, you wish for the secret of themasters. However, it seems that even God is on their side.
Too Much Failure
Almost all of the successful people tell that they workedhard, and that’s why they are at such heights. But they conveniently don’t tellhow many people worked hard and didn’t succeed too.
There are many people who failed despite hard work. So ofcourse, there is some connection thing going on in here.
People at the top don’t want you to succeed, so they won’tshare what they know with you. Because then you too will succeed and theirplace and prestige will be threatened. No one wants to leave their position ofpower.
With power comes money and ability to do things which aren’tallowed to normal individuals. It’s like they are on a free ride from thesheriff.
You don’t want to try hard and fail. You need a recipe forsuccess and just do that. No trying to becoming something which you can’t evensee what’s in the end? Let’s get a roadmap and walk the hell out on it. So youreach your destination without much trouble and misguidance.
The Masters
Enough of your rant buddy. Here is the truth. Yes, there aremany failures. But that is a learning stone too. You get to know what works foryou and what doesn’t. So you can double down on things that work.
Yes, there are some things where connections are important.But the truth is you can too make that connection.
Start by providing value to them. And slowly they willbecome a mentor of you to make you level up.
If you are working hard and have something to provide invalue, you will be rewarded. It doesn’t matter where you come from or what isyour earning status. Show up with something valuable to others natural, and youwill get the money.
There are masters who tell you to work hard. By workinghard, they mean one thing. Practice your craft every day.
If you are a writer, write every day if you are a dancer,dance every day. If you are a plumber, plumb every day, do it better with eachprogression, and soon you will reach master status. Now go and first practiceyour craft.
