Mastery?
I saw this post and thought I'd share it with the community:
👉 Mastery happens in three phases.
🎹 Phase 1 — mostly wrong.
You get it right once or twice, then miss it five times. It feels discouraging, but you're actually making progress.
This phase is where most people quit — right before they get to...
🎹 Phase 2 — a coin flip.
Right, wrong, right, right, wrong.
You're closing the gap. This is the messy middle.
Between phase 1 and 2, you've still gotten it mostly wrong, until...
🎹 Phase 3 — can't get it wrong.
You could do it half asleep.
This is mastery — not because you got lucky, but because you stayed in phase 1 and 2 long enough.
The trick isn't avoiding the wrong reps.
The trick is knowing what part of the process you're in, staying patient, and viewing the reps as evidence you're moving forward.
Try this today:
1️⃣ Pick the thing you keep "messing up"
2️⃣ Play it slowly, on purpose, 10 times in a row
3️⃣ Count how many you get right — not to judge yourself, just to see the pattern
You'll probably notice you're further into phase 2 than you thought.
Happy shedding :)
