I made a tiny breakthrough today.
Here I was thinking that pushing through is a what a resilient person does. Turns out it’s what a ‘stressor’ does.
Turns out there are three types of people:
The dabbler is someone who dabbles in things but it doesn’t last. They’ll do it something while feels good then stop the minute it gets hard.
The stressor is someone who stresses as they push through to achieve what they want. They try and get things perfect and that actually causes resistance and stunts their growth.
The master is someone who practices the fundamentals every day. They aren’t afraid of taking a few steps back to take more steps forward. They also understand that success is a long game and it’s rare to see progress up close.
You don’t get any points for stressing your way through. Sure, it feels like you’re working really hard, but feeling like your working isn’t the same as being effecting.
I know which of the three I’d like to be.
