Today's wisdom is from Mastery by George Leonard. One of my all time favorite books, Mastery George Leonard Leonard reminds us mastery isn't about quick wins. It's about showing up for the process. The path to mastery requires patience, discipline and a love for the journey itself. And here's how to practice mastery today. Number one, Commit to practice.

Be patient with periods of slow progress. They're preparing you for breakthroughs. This is one of the biggest ideas I've taught Emerson in his process of mastering chess.
