day no. 16,795: craft incompetency

Proverbs 22:29
Seest thou a man diligent in his business?
he shall stand before kings;
he shall not stand before mean men.

If you want to be good at something, you have to be willing to be bad at it. A certain amount of discontent is required to achieve greater results and a certain degree of humility is required in order to be worse than you wish in order to become better than you are.

Craft competency is not accomplished by the faint of heart. Overnight success is not without sleepless nights and setbacks. No one can rise like a rocket. Everyone must summit like a mountain climber submitting to the valleys that accompany the upward path to peaking. One can summit only if he submits to going down a slope or two, In order to increase one must decrease; in order to ascend, one must be willing to descend. The last shall be first and the hungry will be satisfied.

John 3:30
He must increase, but I must decrease.

Matthew 20:16
So the last shall be first, and the first last.

Matthew 5:6
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
