Reading, listening and watching are great ways to expand your knowledge. But it’s the application of that information and exposure to real life scenarios that builds your experience, maturity and wisdom.

Not just once. You need repetition of experience to deepen self-mastery.

So sometimes you need time before your next promotion, or you add weight to the bar bell.

Even though it might start to feel more comfortable or you feel impatient, remember you can only fast track so much. Moving too quickly risks burnout, a crash of confidence and unhappiness if you find yourself in a situation that you either lack the maturity to handle, or wisdom to move on.
