This past Saturday the team had the most emotion and powerful meeting I have been to yet! The main focus was about mediocrity, or rather not accepting mediocrity. Many of us are intimidated by the idea of Mastery. It can be exhausting thinking about what it takes to achieve mastery. However, since this is a goal that is likely not truly possible in a single lifetime, it needs to be viewed another way.
Not accepting mediocrity is a way of doing it. Being mindful and aware of everything you do, not settling for average. Pushing beyond what you think is possible, or even doing ordinary activities just a little bit better every time. To me, it's like long distance bike riding. It seems like so much more of a daunting task if you look at the end point right away. But if you take it one point at a time, before you know it you will get to where you want to go.
The path to mastery is never ending, attempting to abruptly change your way of living won't work. Since it will take so long to achieve, I figure what is the rush? Make it sustainable and enjoy the process, because you will be living with it for the rest of your life.
See you on the mats.
