Reading this made me realize why I kept stalling with learning guitar. I thought my problem was discipline when it was really my practice method. Once I started breaking down the lessons into smaller parts and got feedback from a musician friend, things started to click. I definitely plan to use your insights as I work on getting better at piano. The blind spot isn’t always talent, it’s the approach. Thank you Idris Elijah and all the best on reaching one year with this newsletter!
Mmh, what incredible insights you’ve shared here. You all do an incredible job of synthesizing these newsletters. Thank you for being here Brooke. Wouldn’t have made it this far without your support 🤗🤗🤗
This actually reminds me of the show I write about on my X page, Big Brother. Half the drama comes from houseguests being totally blind to their own gaps. They think they’ve got the game figured out. Meanwhile the real issue is right under their nose and that’s what sends them packing out of the house. That’s exactly what happened on this season that just ended! Another thought provoking read Idris and I join the community in celebrating one year of The Potential Paradox!
For a long time I thought my problem was polishing sentences but it turns out my blind spot was story structure. I had convinced myself that it was a lack of inspiration but once I started showing my writing to a few trusted friends I realized I didn’t know what I didn’t know. I’m nos working on studying story arcs and my words are already starting to flow better. Thank you for showing us how small habits can reveal the gaps Idris Elijah!
When I started painting I thought my problem was technique. It turns out my blind spot was color theory. Once I spotted that gap the ebook I bought from you made way more sense and my work suddenly feels more alive. One shift in perspective can really change everything! This was a wonderful read Idris Elijah and congratulations on one year of your newsletter!!
This is great to hear Jody! I’m soooooo happy for you! Look at all you’ve accomplished in such a short time. To say your art now feels alive. Wow! That’s incredible!! 🤩🤩🤩 And thank you so much and you are most welcome!
