Progress and improvement are much more about trajectory than position.

We talk a lot about position in life.

What is the number on the scale?

What is the number on the bank account?

You know, like where am I currently standing? Am I in first place or am I in seventh place

but this argument is much more about trajectory it's like actually you know if you have a

positive trajectory if you're moving up into the right if you're getting 1% better each day

All you need is patience like if you have good habits all you your time is your ally all you need is for you know time to keep working for you

But if you have bad habits, be getting 1% worse each day,

or you're staying kind of stuck in neutral,

time becomes your enemy.

You know, every day that clicks by,

you dig the whole little bit deeper.

And so it's much more about

mastering your trajectory than your position it's much more about getting 1% better than

you know trying to have some magical outcome on day one. Okay, welcome back or welcome to the Finding Mastery Podcast. I'm Michael Jervay and by

trade and training I am a sport and performance psychologist and the whole idea

behind these conversations is to learn from people who are on the path of mastery

to better understand what they're searching for

how they organize their inner life, their psychological framework if you will.

We want to understand how do they use their mind to become their very best

and possibly even master the skill that they've dedicated their life efforts to work.
