practice




Practice, practice, practice.  It is one of the most difficult things to do in a culture that draws our attention in a million different directions at one.  It is a practice just to be intentional about getting to our practice.  Yet there are many things we do in life that seem automatic - like eating meals, or taking a shower, or driving to work.  We don't have to think about them anymore because we do them so often.  We have practiced our routine and it has become a way of life.


So how do we be intentional about shifting or changing our practice so that it is functional when there are shifts in the world around us?  


Malcom Gladwell says that - “Practice isn’t the thing you do once you’re good. It’s the thing you do that makes you good”


We become what we practice.  So what are you becoming?  What do you want to become?  And are you focused on how you are practicing that reality?


My piano teacher when I was a kid regularly reminded me that practice makes habit (only perfect practice makes perfect).  What habits are you building?
