Beware of ease!
<span class="html-content"> <p>I believe the goal of everyone learning a skill or a craft should be to master that craft. Notably, it takes a great deal of devotion in terms of discipline and consistency to attain mastery of something. Similarly, it'll mean staying resolute even in the face of difficulty. In other words, there's a degree of hunger required to sustain you throughout the journey to mastery. </p> <p>The big question is, what happens when you gain mastery? Do you bask in the celebration and remain complacent, or do you remain focused? </p> <p>It's funny how a lot of people cannot deal with ease! </p> <p>Yes, the idea of ease can be very tricky. If you're not careful, you'll end up procrastinating. This is because you would tell yourself that you could easily complete that task. It's like saying, "Why do it now when you can easily do it later?" In another case, you could lose sight of growth. Starting a fire may be easy, but sustaining it would be difficult. I'm of the opinion that "mastery is progressive".</p> <p>"Once relevant is not always relevant."&nbsp;</p><p>If it took doggedness, discipline, and consistency to attain mastery, then you must not lose sight of these elements when you attain some form of mastery. You'll become sloppy over time when you stop honing your skills. This puts excellence in jeopardy, and your results will become mediocre!</p> <p>Beware of ease!</p> <p>Learn Unlearn Relearn </p> </span>
