From Me
Mastery takes:
Patience - Do the reps
Humility - View everyone, and every event, as your teacher
Discipline - Do the work, don’t quit, and care about the little things
Relentlessness - About better -Source
Love helps too. Hopefully, you love what you do or who you do it for. But whatever you do, love yourself along the way.
From Someone Else
Looking back on my journal from a year ago, I had just finished Steven Pressfield’s Warrior Ethos. The book finishes with this passage.
“Let us be, then, warriors of the heart, and enlist in our inner cause the virtues we have acquired through blood and sweat in the sphere of conflict—courage, patience, selflessness, loyalty, fidelity, self-command, respect for elders, love of our comrades (and of the enemy), perseverance, cheerfulness in adversity and a sense of humor, however terse or dark.”
(Steven Pressfield, The Warrior Ethos)
You have fought your way to where you are today. Take a moment to honor that, and get back to work on becoming who you need to be. For yourself, your family, and your community.

With spring coming, I’m excited to break out one of my favorite apps. Merlin Bird ID will listen to ambient sounds and identify birds. Yes, I’m old, eccentric, and eager to learn. If you are here, one of those probably applies to you too. It’s free, enjoy.
Take care,
