I've been practicing many things lately that had been blocked, like tennis (was #1 at a Division 1 school), but since I stopped be able to play at that level I stopped altogether. Now I'm back in it, Bambi legs, but still playing, practicing and even teaching! Got hired as a pro and am volunteering to coach the JV high school team. I'm in the realm of being instead of hiding out with potential in tact! And I'm practicing life coaching, and at least TRYING not to expect home runs each time. I'm just being my purpose with them. That seems to bring forth value- even just the Being there. Great posting. Talk to you soon. I especially love the last line about it devastating curiousity which consistently leads to breakthroughs.

I particularly enjoyed your humor in how you approached this topic, and your ability to write conversation . . . .An uncommon ability in (what is often humdrum) business writing.

Love this part: “Practice does not mean thinking about it, analyzing it, exploring your feelings about it. Practice means actually doing the thing that you don’t know how to do yet.” “So, go practice. Go be with people and notice where you can’t. Sound awkward, look bad, get your nose bloody, and go skin your knees. That’s the only way to break all that stuff up… through practice.” Words to live by for all of us! Thanks!
