You Don’t Need to Practice, Ever

Said no one, actually. Although today is April Fool’s Day so I was half-tempted to go there and make this whole column one of opposites. Then I thought about it and my inner voice said, “This is a column intended to motivate people. It’s motivation Monday for goodness sakes. Ain’t nobody got time for that!”

Everything we’ve done since we were infants has required learning, trial, error, and even failure. We didn’t walk the first time we tried. Odds are that you learned how to bike with training wheels.

But you didn’t really figure it out until those baby wheels came off and you went head-first into a ditch.

Right, Tara? Inside joke.
