My musician/song writer/poet friend Linda developed a discipline to write a poem a day, everyday, for the entire year in 2012. She even wrote a poem about my baking. That was way cool. My friend Bill does the same. 15 minutes a day, everyday, he practices his writing. Bill starts his day by exercising his brain. I wonder if he does that before or after coffee.
And then there's my good friend's young teenage daughter, who is practically a fish. She gets up before god does, and goes to her swimming practices; I think sometimes they practice in sub-zero temperature water. Mornings, after school, weekends, I don't know all the details. They are not important.
Discipline.
Sixty-five-thousand excuses and twenty-eight-hundred justifications later, I have given forgotten about my discipline. I became weak.
My piano teacher would not be proud of my lack of discipline.
What would be the one reason to say 'yes?'
If practice makes perfect, then I think I have mastered the art of staying in bed all day and reading a book :) But, joking aside, I do agree that we get good at what we practice. This is one of the reasons I have heard for not dwelling on the negative and focusing the positive. Love, K
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more that we do get good at what we practice - so we have to be very careful and know what exactly we are practicing, and how - be it certain beliefs, self-talk, an art, a hobby. It is all about awareness. So glad you're sharing your comments!! Thank you for taking the time.
