Mastery

Made in Adobe Firefly.

There's an intersection between what someone is good at, what they love and what the world needs.

At some point, a tool becomes an extension of the person. My drawing professor called this being free. Where you're focus is on the idea, not how to draw it. You throw lines just like you've done hundreds of thousands of times before.

At 15, Jimi Hendrix plucked a string for the first time with no idea how to play. He learned to be free with guitar by watching others and practicing for hours.

Over time, if you do it right, you don't play the instrument. You play the song.
