I've never committed to anything with any form of discipline and longevity, and NOT grown through the process. I'm guessing you're no different. To get better at something, it takes time. I've also never effectively grown through a process without trying something and failing. It's the "not good enough" along the way that reminds us that there is still ground to forge and growth to pursue. So how can we be sure to create layers of learning experiences without compromising excellence? You can’t. That’s the beauty of it.
