- There’s more to personal growth than intellectual, book knowledge
- Training is mental, emotional and physical: encompassing mind, body and spirit
- Sometimes getting better is learning something new
- Sometimes it’s refining motion – building precision
- Sometimes it’s pushing yourself further, expanding strength, flexibility or endurance
- Sometimes it’s pushing your heart; holding focus through frustration, fear, disappointment – persevering and holding firm, trusting in those who’ve mastered before you
- There is always something new to learn, more precision to control, more strength to grow, or endurance to cultivate
- Perfection is an aspiration, a direction, not a destination
- Always remember: perseverance and continuing to train is the path of mastery.
