The most important thing we can do is practice.
Repetition breeds habit and consistency. But we really don’t make leaps and bound unless we aim to improve with practice. And we improve most quickly with feedback
Feedback is hard. Hard to give, hard to take.
Friends and spouses can give feedback, but we must be humble in order to accept it.
Some days we can’t, but most days the desire to grow can be actively chosen. (And as it’s chosen, the days we can’t fade away, btw.)
So grow, ask for it, and grow. And practice and grow more.
