More thoughts on Mastery...
By Dion Riccardo (Thought I would share this this article by my instructor). It is really great!
Do you find it hard for you to STICK with something for long periods of time?
Over the years, I found there are several types of students that have trouble getting the results they want in attaining the skill level they desire and oftentimes it spills over into their everyday life.
Here are common attitudes towards attempting to master new skills or challenges in the guise of three personas. These character types are to some extent caricatures, but if you think about, you may find within yourself one of them. Which one best describes you?
A Master has carefully chosen the things he/she wants to pursue and FULLY commits to the lifetime commitment of MASTERY.
"A Black belt is a white belt that never quit"
In closing, the Master is always a student. But, there comes a point where a master looks more at creating than external information.
When a student has master the Fundamentals of his/ her skill, they now begin to personalize it and create from it. Thus, the skill becomes them - their art - their style.
There is always the temptation to learn more from external sources (the new whiz bang popular thing out there) but it usually is a distraction to the person on the path of mastery. He/she focuses on the fundamentals of what they have been taught and then internally DISCOVERS areas within it!
Be careful, with the idea of chasing the next "Big Thing". When you uproot a plant and keep replanting it takes 10 times the amount of time to grow and will stunt your growth in becoming a master.
*** I want to thank Ms. Clark and all of our CIT Members who help the school so much. No one can ask for a more DIVERSE, CAPABLE team. I appreciate you carrying out the Vision and legacy.

Do you find it hard for you to STICK with something for long periods of time?
Over the years, I found there are several types of students that have trouble getting the results they want in attaining the skill level they desire and oftentimes it spills over into their everyday life.
Here are common attitudes towards attempting to master new skills or challenges in the guise of three personas. These character types are to some extent caricatures, but if you think about, you may find within yourself one of them. Which one best describes you?
- The Dabbler, who approaches each new sport, hobby, job opportunity or relationship with enthusiam, but loses interest once initial progress slows or a setback is encountered. Then it is on to the next interest.
- The Obsessive, who is intensely goal-oriented and results-focused, and pursues mastery with intensity and dogged persistence, making rapid initial progress. When setbacks are encountered, the Obsessive redoubles the effort and pushes forward without mercy. But because this cannot be sustained, ultimately the crash comes and burnout follows.
- The Hacker, who is much more laid back about learning new things than the Dabbler or Obsessive, and is content to stay on the plateau indefinitely, just “hanging out” in a certain comfort zone. The Hacker does avoid getting frustrated, but at the same time is unwilling to invest real effort and hard work in the practice, never pushing, and never really progressing.
A Master has carefully chosen the things he/she wants to pursue and FULLY commits to the lifetime commitment of MASTERY.
