What have you already decided you can’t do simply because you aren’t good at it yet?

Too often, we mistake being unskilled for being unable. We try something, struggle, and conclude, “I’m not cut out for this.” But your first attempts are not a test of your potential—they are only your starting point.

In Episode 69 of the Truly a Masterpiece Podcast, Craig explains why talent must be developed through training, practice, success, and failure. Through the story of an experienced auto-body technician and the biblical account of David and Goliath, you’ll discover how faith and preparation work together.

You’ll also learn six practical steps for developing any ability:

Choose. Narrow. Learn. Practice. Review. Repeat.

You don’t have to be excellent today. You only need to become a little more skilled than you were yesterday.

Just because you can’t today doesn’t mean you can’t someday. But someday begins with what you are willing to develop today.
