Where does learning begin?

In most areas of life, there is no “silver bullet” to doing things better. It takes a number of things done well coupled with discipline over time to consistently improve.

Work hard, be flexible, but don’t hate yourself. There are things that you can control, but there are things that you can’t. Never settle or accept less than what you want, but don’t torture yourself either. Keep pushing, but keep in mind that you are probably not in the same road as those you read or hear about.

Patient, mindful practice.
