The first step is learning how to do it. Finding and obtaining the insight and the tools and the techniques you need. Understanding how it works. But step two is easily overlooked. Step two is turning it into a habit. Committing to the practice. Showing up and doing it again and again until you’re good at it, and until it’s part of who you are and what you do. —Seth Godin
Learning about something is only the first step.
Understanding an idea or practice deeply requires more of us.
Learning to do something correctly is harder still.
Learning to do it consistently until it becomes a habit is even harder. Such learning is founded on discipline and practice.
Here are a few habits we are likely to see in resilient people:
• Seeking clarity in the midst of confusion regarding purposes, values, goals, and next actions.
• Acting with integrity, particularly in speaking their truth and keeping their promises.
• Accepting responsibility for their actions.
• Taking calculated risks that move them out of their comfort zones.
• Learning from their mistakes.
• Using their strengths.
• Having empathy for the experiences and perspective of others.
