Repeat until you become

REPETITION BREEDS MASTERY

You don't become a master of a craft by putting in one moment of brilliance, you become a master by repetitively doing some critical necessities that ensure mastery. The path to excellence is paved with countless iterations, refining your skill, deepening your understanding, and letting your ability take root until it becomes second nature. What is repeated is retained, and what is retained is mastered.

If you do something a thousand times over, soon you would not need to think anymore to get that thing done, it will come to you by naturally. Repetition is a silent teacher, it reveals little details that may not be seen at once, and the distinctions that a single attempt could never uncover. During repetitive attempts mistakes are corrected, weaknesses are strengthened, and confidence grows with each attempt.

As much as repetition takes you towards mastery, repetition alone is not enough, conscious repetition is crucial. Blindly repeating errors does not make you any better, it makes you worse. So, you must be mindful of what you are repeating and take note of what needs to be changed after every attempt. True mastery comes from deliberate, focused, intentional, and relentless practice. It is the difference between someone who has done a thing many times and someone who has done it well many times.  

The world may celebrate genius, but behind every genius, every supposed overnight success, every master of craft, are years of unseen effort most people do not see. Repetition is the bridge between ambition and achievement, between learning and mastery. If you want to get better at what you do, repeat, refine, repeat again, until mastery is not just attained, but become a part of you.

To a better you, Kamikun John.
