Only flawless practise works, and this is how to go about doing it.

Many individuals think they were destined to live successful lives from birth. They practise regularly and exercise regularly, but somewhere along the line, their circumstances cause them to fail. The phrase “Oh, this person is so lucky, she touches dirt, and it turns to gold” is one that I’ve heard a lot. or “Well, he’s unfortunate; everything he touches turns to dirt.” But this is essentially incorrect. When people incorrectly attribute the origin of a certain impact, they develop superstitions. Not that I despise myths, but those claims are untrue in many ways. I am aware of this to some degree; our environment, particularly the impact of media, shapes our behaviour and the way our brains work.

But that only makes up a small part of the formula for success, which we determine for ourselves. Nevertheless, it is our duty to condition ourselves regardless of the kind of achievement we aspire to in life. We’ve long held the view that an individual’s effort leads to talent mastery. The proverb “Practice makes perfect” has been repeated countless times. You might wonder if the saying “practice makes perfect” isn’t just common sense. Isn’t it clear that the more time we invest in honing a skill, the more adept we will become? Yes, it does seem obvious, and I concur that it makes total sense. However, common sense isn’t always reliable.

That assertion has a flaw in that it leaves out the most crucial detail. If we never learn, no matter how many hours we exercise, we will only stay in a state of stagnation. Researchers have discovered that only 12% of the variation in performance quality can be explained by an individual’s intentional practise habits. What other variables account for the 88%, then? It’s a combination of traits like habits, personality, intrinsic drive, and mental ability. Because they have mastered the fundamentals of whatever they do, successful individuals or professionals make things appear simple. Instead of relying solely on luck, they have discovered better methods to succeed by learning from their past mistakes. Unfortunately, not everyone has the ability to analyse previous errors, much less learn from them. They then opt for the straightforward explanation and simply attribute it to fate or destiny, failing to realise that practise alone is insufficient it takes perfect practise to become proficient.

Perfect training begins with a routine.

I once met a man who had a respectable circle of friends. He was respected by many. People were unaware of his preference for lying in unimportant situations. It appeared innocent at first. However, he was unable to respond favourably when faced with a serious issue. Instead of being honest and direct, he would pirouette around the subject and make looping motions. His practise of lying has developed. He has done it so frequently that lying now comes naturally to him. This is an illustration of how something we do repeatedly over time can become profoundly ingrained in our brains and become a habit. The process of developing a habit requires time and originates from within, just like ploughing a field. The routine actions we take lead to the ideal practise. And in the instance of my friend, he had developed a habit of lying and was very good at it.

Your habits shape who you are.

Every individual possesses a few distinguishing qualities or characteristics. These characteristics are the product of continuous mental and physical training and are not the result of chance. Our characteristics whether good or negative that we have developed over time are what come to the fore when we encounter adversity. Negative traits, like cowardice or dishonesty, are not what we have been practising all this time, so if we practise them in small situations, we won’t be able to manage big situations positively. Because of this, it will be much simpler to tell an untruth a second, third, or fourth time, and so on until it becomes ingrained in our behaviour.

It also applies to the foundation of success, which is maintaining what must be done and refraining from what is harmful until this behaviour becomes routine. Our identity is shaped by our habits. Inheritance, environmental influences, and the degree of character development over the course of a lifetime can all influence how traits evolve in a person.

Your fate is shaped by your character.

Humans rely on screenplays and the generalisation of scripts to help us remember things. Memory is the capacity to recall past events, and it is vital for learning. We study a new language to acquire it, but when we speak it, we recall the words we have learned from memory. In other words, we memorise what we have learned and then rediscover it to learn how to do tasks. And as we learn, our thought processes develop into behavioural habits. We develop boldness by acting bravely. Clarity training helps us develop honesty. Integrity is something we acquire by acting responsibly. We develop these qualities by exercising them. So we acquire knowledge through experience. Our character is formed by these behavioural habits, and our character leads to destiny.

The Conclusion

Practice does not make perfect; rather, it only makes whatever we do frequently permanent. Therefore, only flawless repetition can result in perfection. Learning, unlearning, and reinforcing new information is the ideal practise. In order to succeed at anything, we must learn from our previous errors, discard ineffective techniques, and adopt new, more effective ones. We must go through this mental procedure several times before it becomes second nature. In essence, our habits will shape our character, and our character is an evaluation of all of our traits that will help us achieve perfection.
