"I practice my saxophone three hours a day. I'm not saying I'm particularly special, but if you do something three hours a day for forty years, you get pretty good at it." -- Kenny G
In the end, nothing comes all at once, nothing just comes to one in a bundle or heap, it comes bit by bit. All we get and all we are able to acquire are a result of the small work and constant practice we put in. I will try as much as possible to refrain from using the cliche "Practise makes perfect". But I think we all know truly that it is by practising consistently that we attain near perfection at whatever it is that you choose to lay your heart and hands to do.
The catch though, is that constant practise is a rather strenuous activity. It takes a lot of physical energy and mental courage to keep putting in the work day in and day out in one thing to become better. Some days it feels like there is no progress, it feels like you are consistently hitting rock bottom and you need tremendous mental stamina to push you to keep practicing.
But the man who is able to crack the code and unearth this most Holy of Grails will attain such level of success that even the gods from their towers at Olympus will look down with a tinge of jealousy. The man who is able to realize this will attain such lofty heights that history will create a space for him alongside the other greats to have achieved this.
The irony of life is that the greatest of things are relatively easy to achieve it attain. They just take a while to get done, but many don't have the patience to see them to a good conclusion. I am not a patient man, but I have made it my mantra, it's my nindo, Practice, Practice, Practice. Perhaps one day I can also attain greet heights
You have to be patient in everything if you really wanted to achieve something. Trust the process.
