Every skater you admire fell a few hundred times before the video you saw. The falls were the practice.

RESILIENCE

WHAT THIS MEANS

You are shown the successful attempt and almost never the hundred before it, which makes skill look like a quality someone has rather than a residue of repeated failure. The falls are not the price of learning, they are the mechanism of it. Each one is information that could not have been obtained any other way.

Count your attempts rather than your successes for a while. Set a target number of failed tries this week and treat hitting it as the win. It sounds like a trick and it works, because it puts your attention on the part you control.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH
