At the set of each day, review. What went well? What could be improved upon? What was less than ideal? And most of all: accept the day for what it is. All that occurred is as it should be, is as it will always be marked as. Whether you count it a success or otherwise, it just is.

The day is a gift, what a time to be alive, what a time to be present.

Set apart these questions in your mind, review with detachment, and realize that regret is futile. Change what you can, accept it otherwise.

Then adjust, dial it in. What went well? Okay do more of that. What could be improved? Pray you are given another opportunity to do so, and if so: do so.

This is what many call ‘the boring work’. This is where the magic happens. Within the quiet solitude of a handstand, to the flow-state of utter creativity and problem solving. To the sweet relaxation of rest and recovery. To eat well and feel well from it. All these work for you, all of this is where consistency shines through.

Operate in this place and see the progress, the creative love that is bestowed upon the one for whom does the work to build themselves up.

Skills are learned. Learning is a consistent effort. Outside of ‘formal’ education you are left to your own devices, and thus brings a new skill: the learning to learn properly. How can you direct yourself within a topic you know less about?

1) A mentor who has been where you want to go.

2) Knowledge and application found in media.

3) Intuitive movement and pattern recognition – derive it yourself.

In all these things, one must question themselves:

What went well? What could be improved upon? And finally: “Why?”.

Action without understanding of action leaves one as animalistic as one for whom floats without intention.

Congratulate the day and get back on to it.
