Do Something Every Day That Will Make You A Better…
There is allegedly a saying in the special forces that every day you should do something that will make you a better operator. I have also seen tbis referenced in other areas ..better shooter, better father, better husband, etc.
Point being that the best of the best have a single focus and do something every day to further their goal. This reminds me a little bit of the movie City Slickers where the character Curly said the secret to happiness was one thing. Find your one thing and pursue it.
But what if we take these concepts and combine and expand on them. My proposal – and what I usually attempt to do – it to take some kind of action in pursuit of my goals. I have more than one goal. But by taking hopefully positive action towards your goals – martial arts (practicing or at mentally rehearsing), marksmanship drills, spiritual goals, etc, we improve who we are by becoming incrementally better. No one became a master of something the first time they did it. All skills are perishable and require practice
Also remember practice has a way of becoming permanent. So be deliberate with what you are hardwiring .
