Key #3: Discipline Over Time
To become truly masterful at any
vocation, you must have the discipline
to spend thousands and thousands
of hours purposefully practicing that
skill. This is why it is so important to
take the proper time to explore many
different career opportunities before
choosing to commit to a particular
craft. Because it’s not enough to
make a choice. In order to do our most
masterful work for the glory of God
and the good of others, we must find
one vocational thing worth staying
committed to over a significant period
of time.
