Profound thought / Lesson learned from the book, Heart of the Wild 📚
Not every thought originates from you, or on a deeper level, your soul. 🤔
Your environment and what you mentally and visually consume can inject many unwanted thoughts. Also, never rule out attacks from the enemy on planting bad seeds.
First off, guard your mind!
Second, learn to observe your thoughts, evaluate them for good fruit and dismiss the ones that are fruitless.
You are not your thoughts, rather, you are the actions you choose to take from them.. 💯🔥
McConnell Out!
Today’s Lesson = Volume outweights Perfection 📕 🤔
Art & Fear: Observations on the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking
by David Bayles & Ted Orland (first published 1993).
The Story (Summarized)
A ceramics teacher divides his class into two groups:
• Group A (“Quantity Group”)
Graded solely on the number of pieces they produced.
50 pounds of pots = A
40 pounds = B
and so on.
• Group B (“Quality Group”)
Graded on one single perfect pot.
Outcome
The best pieces of the entire semester — the highest craftsmanship, creativity, and technical mastery — all came from the Quantity group, not the Quality group.
Why?
Because they were repeatedly making, learning, adjusting, and improving.
The quality-only group spent the whole semester theorizing about perfection instead of practicing.
The Lesson
“Quantity leads to quality.”
Real mastery comes from producing more, not overthinking one perfect outcome.
Entrepreneurs, artists, sales teams — anyone who executes in volume gets better because of the repetition.
Why This Matters 🤔
You don’t get better by thinking. You get better by shipping, trying, producing, iterating.
That’s why reps in real estate, marketing, lead gen, writing, leadership — it’s all the same rule:
Perfection is the reward for volume
Be the gift giver in the moment, knowing your actions today are setting your future self up for success and a huge smile!..
Secondly, truly appreciate your past self for the blessings they worked so hard to set you up for today. 🙏🔥
