The graceful ease of knowing how

It’s more fun to already be good at it, whatever it is.

 
Riding a bike, playing the guitar, sound editing…we want to be able to do it like we’ve seen others do it, effortlessly, gracefully, efficiently.

 
But getting there is hard work, most of it behind the scenes. And that hard work isn’t always fun. Can we stay in the place of looking toward that ultimate outcome, the graceful ease of knowing how, through the tough days of practice?

 
What if we work on changing our mindset to appreciating the labor of the practice, rather than resenting that we don’t already know how?
