Practice on yourself.

They. Whoever they might be? Well. They is researchers. So yes. They say that it takes a solid 10,000 hours to become an expert at something, to get really good at it. To know it like nothing other.  To masters it's complexity.

I love the winding down of a measurement. Of hours. I love the idea of counting the hours somewhere, of giving up ourselves and our time to get there. To reach the summit of intellectual exhaustion.

At the end of the day, you are not in an arm wrestling match against the world. You are competing against only one person---one damn person. 

And that person is no doubt none other than: who you were yesterday. 

So while it's easy to fall into habits. To play victim. To lie. To cheat. To steal. To avoid the shadow sides of ourselves....the easiness of those old habits is not sustainable in creating a long term healthier and better you.  So choose to practice being good and doing good. Let your authenticity spill over. Do not hide who you are or where you came from. Life and love cannot be measured as such.  The only thing that counts is the now.  What will you practice now?
