Practice makes permanent, not perfect. Be sure to practice well!
Those who are failing to prepare are preparing to fail. Preparation is necessary for anyone to reach greatness in any area of life. It is impossible for anyone to reach greatness without preparation.
Speaking on the importance of preparation Whitney Young an American Civil Rights leader who fought to end employment discrimination in the U.S. once said, "It is better to be prepared for an opportunity and not have one than to have one and not be prepared." Preparation involves practice, lots and lots of practice.
"How do I practice well," you ask?
*BE PURPOSEFUL in practice. Look at and learn from those who are doing well what you hope to do. Study all that you can about your craft and then put into practice what you learn. Remember, if it is worth doing, it is worth doing right the first time.
*BE PERSISTENT in practice. A group of behavioral scientists did a study and they concluded that it takes 10,000 hours of practice to master a complex skill. Greatness does not happen overnight nor does it happen by accident. It takes persistence! Stay the course. Do not be easily dissuaded. Anything worth doing will not come without challenges. Consider these challenges to be opportunities for growth not obstacles. Do not let them become stumbling blocks. Instead use them as stepping stones to reaching your dreams.
*BE POWERFUL in practice. You will do well to put in the blood, sweat, and tears necessary to sharpen your craft. This will take much effort; but it will be worth it in the long run. Most people will do what is necessary to get by in life--this is not only average it is unacceptable if greatness is your desire. Be willing to put in the hard work necessary to reach your full potential. Tim Tebow said, "Hard work beats talent every time talent doesn't work hard." Make a commitment to your future to do what it takes to become great. Be powerful!
If you are willing to invest the necessary hours into reading, studying, learning, and putting into practice what it takes to be great in the field of your endeavor, you can become great. Do not delay. Start today.
And remember, you do not have to be great to start but you do have to start to become great!
