No time or energy for writing tonight beyond sharing a quote from author, musician, and entrepreneur Derek Sivers:
“Mastery is the best goal because the rich can’t buy it, the impatient can’t rush it, the privileged can’t inherit it, and nobody can steal it. You can only earn it through hard work. Mastery is the ultimate status.”
It has only been later in my life that I have come to understand the value of mastering a skill or discipline. Now I feel like I have one overarching drive - the desire to understand my faith at a far deeper level.
And with greater understanding comes more effective practice.
I wasn't familiar with Sivers before coming across this snippet of his thinking about "mastery" in an email newsletter, but now I am curious to hear more of what he has to say.
After a little searching, I discovered that Sivers was a recent guest on one of the podcasts I find most useful: Modern Wisdom with Chris Williamson.
Tomorrow morning, as I fix breakfast for Melissa and Sarah, I plan to find out what else this Derek Sivers fellow is thinking about.
