299 – [A Rant] Thoughts on mastery

We live in a world of dabblers. A place where people pretend to know everything but only have enough surface knowledge to merely get by. A place where people’s skill sets tend to be“good enough.” A place where people aren’t committed to their craft and make excuses about why they didn’t “make it” or why they stopped pursuing their goal, dream, etc.

The truth is, they’re dabblers. And dabblers never win.

If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn’t seem so wonderful at all. – Michelangelo  (Tweet this)
