Learning a kickflip takes hundreds of falls. Nobody posts those, but everybody who lands it took them.

STILLNESS

WHAT THIS MEANS

What you see is the one attempt that worked, and the invisible part is the actual method. Hundreds of failures are not an unfortunate detour on the way to landing it. They are the process by which your body works out the movement. Everybody who can do the thing paid in falls, and nobody keeps a record of that.

Count attempts rather than successes this week. Decide you will take fifty tries at it, and let most of them fail without reading anything into it. Keep the sessions short enough that you come back tomorrow.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH

How many failed attempts are you willing to keep private?
