How to Get Good at Anything You Want - The Four Pillars of Excellence

I don't know what your goals and aims are, but we all strive to be good at things we want to be good at. And obviously it would be amazing if we all had innate talent in the very thing we want to excel in, but many times we don't. What I came to realize is that the ONLY WAY to get good at something is to GAIN EXPERIENCE - and LOTS of them. Yes, I am the captain obvious, but I want to challenge you, "What practical things are you doing right now to get better at something?" Perhaps you are reading a lot about it, watching lots of Youtube videos about it, but if you don't actually physically move, you will never get good at it. So move!

You've watched enough, and you've thought about it enough. And yes you will be embarassed at first but let me assure you it is a necessary process in order to get better. Don't try to pretend you're good at it, and most certainly don't let your ego get in the way because that was the critical mistake I had made that stunted my growth for too long. No matter how slow, if you give it a lot of thought and continuously work hard, you will reach excellence before you know it.

The four pillars of excellence:

Don't let your ego in the way

Gain LOTS of experience

Give it LOTS of thought and continue the hard work

Do it for God - it will keep you humble
