Have you ever wondered how there some things you do everyday, and even so, you don't really get "better" at it?

For example, I imagine everyday you use a fork and a knife to eat. And, even though you eat every single day you never really become a master at it, sometimes you even let food fall back on the plate, or some silly mistake like that.

Everyday you type stuff on the keyboard, write on a paper, wipe your ass, w/e. And your "ability" on these stuff eventually seems to stagnate to the point of just being... sufficient.

For you to actually get better at something you must make a conscious effort to become better. This is it. This goes from learning how to play guitar, to learning how to approach a girl on the street.

If you don't make a conscious effort to correct the things you are doing wrong, focus on a way to do things quicker, look ahead to become better than you were. You will simply stagnate to the point of sufficiency.

You have to make a lot of different mistakes and never repeat any of them.

You have to take a lot of criticism and direct your attention to where you truly believe you are being flawed.

And most importantly, you have to consistently do that thing until it becomes natural to you. Consistency and conscious effort is what it takes to become a master.

Don't forget that one of the best feelings in the world is mastering something. So next time you approach a girl or play an instrument or play chess or do whatever the fuck your hobby is, remember to strive to actually become better or else you aren't making the most of your time.
