Learning A New Skill

May 28, 2015 by Justin Stenstrom Leave a Comment

learning-a-new-skill
We all like to learn new skills throughout our lives. It’s the challenge of the expertise that intrigues us. To become an expert at something takes dedication, hard work, and of course practice. This is why we love watching a true master at any given craft. Ali, Jordan, even Montana. All legends and idealized for being the greatest at what they did. Not because they were so much better than others of their time, but because of their unbelievable devotion to be the best.

It’s the challenge and the willingness to take on that challenge that makes them stick out above others. This is what we look up to and this is what we revere. Ali didn’t have the greatest boxing record of all time. Jordan didn’t win the most championships of all time. Montana didn’t have the greatest arm. But all three of these individuals were dedicated to being the best. They sacrificed their mind, body, and spirit to what they loved, and this is why we love them.

We don’t have to dedicate ourselves like these great sports legends did to tackle a new skill. No, it doesn’t need to take a full dedication of mind, body, and spirit for years and years to learn a new craft. However, we should be willing to dedicate some of our time and energy into really perfecting whatever it is we want to get good at. You can’t think that you’re going to get great at something without sacrificing a bit of hard work and dedication on your end. Keep dreaming.

If you want to learn a new skill, you’re going to have to put in a good amount of effort and push yourself to change. Perhaps you want to learn how to dance. Take a dance class, and stay committed to that class. Even if you are terrible at first, if you promise yourself beforehand that you are not going to quit, but instead stick through it no matter what, you will be so much more likely to succeed. It’s this sort of never-give-up attitude that separates the people who are proficient in many different aspects of life, and the people who only stick to one thing and one thing only…like say, watching every episode of their favorite T.V. show, six times.

If you want to learn how to play an instrument, such as guitar, take guitar lessons with a teacher who is great at playing guitar. I’ll tell you right now, it’s not easy, in fact it takes many years of frustration to actually become great at playing guitar, but it’s definitely worth the hard work (if you really enjoy playing or listening to music). It’s not easy, life never is, but you have to put in the hard work at times, to be successful. And life is all about challenging yourself and learning new and interesting things. People become tired with life and depressed when they do the same old thing every day. Start pushing yourself and challenging yourself to learn new things.

With that said, if you really want to change your dating life, and have not taken the first step yet, sign up for some coaching with me. I will push you, and give you that guidance into learning the skill that is dating. Approaching, dating, and learning about game is a skill like any other. I help guys learn this skill and teach them how to excel in this area. Please, stop holding yourself back and start to challenge yourself and enjoy life today!
