Becoming an Expert

We are all functioning dysfunctionals I think. Our experiences have left us all damaged and hurt, even when we think we're totally healed and fine. The damage is, we trust less, we withhold more, we chose partners that are totally wrong for us - all those actions are the manifestations of the past hurt. The only way through, I believe, is to risk - risk everything - risk being hurt again and again. A book I recently read talked about putting in 10,000 hours (at whatever our vocation) in order to become an expert. Too many people never accomplish their dreams because they give up too soon. The same vigour and diligence and passion we invest in our careers or businesses should be the same energy level and commitment we invest in our personal lives, but we don't. Those that do, succeed.
