Time and change will surely show

I’ve observed two differences between people whose skills get stuck on-autopilot and those whose skills reach exceptional . . .they respond differently to time and change.

People whose skill gets stuck on-autopilot spend most of their time doing what they already know how to do and minimal time on things they aren’t already good at. When they encounter a need to change, they resist and reject it because they see change as devaluing their existing skills and threatening their ability to continue performing.

People who reach exceptional skill spend the least of their time on existing skills, primarily to maintain standards, and most of their time on new skills or situations they can’t currently execute at elite levels. When necessary change hits, they jump into the messy and awkward work of learning new skills, confident they will develop and eventually become elite in that arena too.

Time and change. Audit your life. It tells the truth.

Do the work.
