Hi Latham - this is a really terrific and inspiring piece. Thank you. So many of the books you mentioned are on my nightstand and I have about ten copies of Mastery that I give away to others from time to time. Thank you for putting forth a simple and inspirational hierarchy. I loved what you said about 90% of what we create will/should never see the light of day. And the shiny dime of 9,999 hours to get to the 10,000th one of beauty is awesome.

Latham this is really well written and easy to understand. I love how you've broken down your learning and mastery process into digestible phases. Also incredible to see the progress from rough to published! Solid.

Thank you Leslie. Your support on the rough draft really helped me solidify what I wanted to say. That and some time gave me the confidence to publish this.

"At this point, we’re not worried about quality. 90% of what you create should never see the light of day. We spend learning how to tell our inner critic to shut the hell up long enough to let our thoughts escape through our fingertips and onto the screen. We’re teaching our body that hard work can be joyous."

I. LOVE. THIS.
