Was listening to one of my favorite podcasts, Sensi Ando’s “Fight for a Happy Life” while working out. During the episode he said something that made me stop in mid-pushup, rewind and listen again: “Beginners flounder, Experts execute, but Masters make it look easy”. He’s also said in other episodes “Masters make mistakes. What separates them is they do it right MOST of the time, and yet maintain the dedication and determination to do it right EVERY time, even while understanding that this is an impossible goal.”
Both applicable to sobriety, I think. Beginners should work on expertise, and Experts to mastery. Masters never stop working.

It’s not about martial arts techniques. It’s about applying martial arts principles to all aspects of life.
