    noiz viol8ion blog #764 – Skills To Learn

    What are the skills you want to learn?

    There are millions of skill, subjects or topics that you could learn about but you can only learn a handful of them in your lifetime. Out of these handful you can only become a master at 1 or 2 of them. What could you devote your whole life to mastering? What interests you so much you want to become the best in the world at it?

    Some of the things I want to master are psychology, investing, philosophy, music, business, relationships, money, health, myself, communication and real estate. These are the paths I’m on and will continue to be on for the rest of my life.

    The biggest difference between the master and amateur is time.

    It takes the amateur a longer amount of time to accomplish what the master can accomplish in moments. A master can spend a fraction of time on something of far greater quality than someone just starting out.

    The amateur can not see the big picture and can get bogged down in the details. They start to doubt themselves and get lost in the process. Once your lost your then the belief fades. Unless a master is there to guide you or you have to spend the time to learn.

    The only way to become a master is through time.

    For most people the most abundant resource they have is time. They do not have money, social connection, talents, skills, or knowledge but they do have time. If this is you then you have to make time work for you.

    Just because you are not getting the results you want right away does not mean you should quit. Some things just take more time. If you understand the concept of compounding interest then you know the more time will equal more results.

    Keep working hard. Keep learning. Keep improving.

    Blog #183 – Sit down be HUMBLE

    Practice humility like you practice any other skill. Being humble keeps you from slipping. As soon as you think you do not need to do the things that got you where you are is when you start loosing and making mistakes. Being humble allows you to take criticism because you know who you are and you can make fun of yourself.

    Be humble enough to know that there is still more to learn. You are not at the end. You are still growing every single day. The world is your teacher and you are its student. Always be open and receptive to listen to what the world is trying to tell you.

    If you are real about what you want and are humble enough you will find things in unexpected places. You are not above anything.

    Be humble because there is always someone better than you. Learn from the competition, find mentors, read books, and practice everyday to get better.

    Put in the time to get better every single day.

  • Blog #67 – Skill doesn’t matter but this does….

    Don’t even worry about skill or how good you are. You are not the best person to judge your own talent. You will always want to be better. You will always think that it could be better. You will never be completely happy with where you are at. This is what drives you to do more. This is the hunger that you must have to get better. Nothing else matters besides this drive to keep going no matter what.

  • Blog #41 – Trust the Process

    Trust the process

    Trust the process

    Stop not trusting the process.

    If you have a creative process then you know what it is like to not trust the process. You know what it is like to over think and over analyze every little detail because things have to be perfect. The work is a reflection of you and people will judge you for it. They will say things about you that hurt and worst of all they are true.

    Your work does suck! It’s true nobody likes your work! It’s true no one knows who you are! It’s true there tons of people that have more likes and followers. It’s true that your never going to be a star! All of these things sting because they are true. Whatever someone says is true to the person that said it. In that person’s mind I am worthless. They are their own judge and jury for my work. Their opinion is as valid as the next person’s.

    The next person is a fan and loves everything you do! You can do no wrong! They worship the ground you walk on and support your work. They have your work in their house and it brings them joy everyday. Your work has changed their life for the better!

    Each of these people are going to happen to you as long as you keep putting out work. No matter what you will get better over time if you are trust the process. The ride is going to be a roller coaster so buckle up and be tough enough to handle anything.
