Like I said earlier, I am not a master. Nor am I a pro. I have the great opportunity to have a shooting buddy who has been shooting for a long time and is a pretty darn good shooter. What I have learned from him that I believe is very important, not only to shooting but any endeavor worth pursueing, is to "never be satisfied".I am ALWAYS looking for a better way. This means being open minded and willing to try. And also willing to fail. To quote Thomas Edison "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work" Just because one way works for someone else, does not mean it is the best way for me, I am constantly trying new ways to do things, sometimes it works better than the old way, sometimes not, but either way I am always learning, and progressing. This takes time and effort, and I firmly believe that there is a direct correlation between the amount of time and effort put into something, and what is achieved.
Here are a couple of my favorite quotes that support this belief, and keep me going.
"I'll do what you won't today, so I'll be able to do what you can't tomorrow"- Unknown
"Continuous effort, not strength or intelligence, is the key to unlocking our potential"-Winston Churchill
