RE-TWEET IT!

It takes ten years to become GREAT at something.
Anything.
It doesn’t matter if you’re an artist or writer, actor or doctor, lawyer or engineer, or whatever else. You’ll be great at what you do… in ten years’ time.
Yes, that’s AFTER you acquire the necessary skills and training.
And sure, there’s a variable called ‘talent’ that gets in the way, and speeds up (or slows down) things a little. But it is over-rated. So don’t place too much value on that one.
Just keep at it, until you’re great.
Today marks the 7th year anniversary of the day I started blogging regularly. You can see my very first post published here on June 15th, 2003.
A milestone. It’s special to me. Because, in just three years from now, I’ll be a GREAT blogger!
Oh wait, maybe not. Blogging is my hobby. One of many. And so it may well take longer than ten years before I’m great at it.
Does that scare you?
Don’t let it. It doesn’t me!
Just create your art. Get it out there. Keep doing it better each time.
As long as you love and enjoy what you’re doing, the time will pass quicker than you thought.
And then, you’ll be successful.
Yes, ’success’ may take a different shape than what you expected it to – but in whichever form it arrives, it’ll taste just as sweet!
