Practice & Patients

BYU-I Center

Jimmer Fredette put in 10,000 hours of practice to get where he is today. Bill Gates put in 10,000 hours with a computer to get where he is today. Steve Jobs put in his 10,000 hours as well. Have I put in my 10,000 hours in my special skill? To me, I have not. I feel kind of far from where my goal was when I was a 5th grader. Instead of being on the beach and living a dream in college, it went opposite and I landed in a frozen iceburg after I tore my rotator cuff, left to just coaching for awhile and secretly playing when I'm not suppose to. Don't get me wrong, I met some awesome and lovely people out but I feel out of my element. It is sad to say but I feel like this is all I ever knew how to do better than average. I'm kind of scared of what what happens to me and what my future will reveal, but I am hoping my surgery goes well so I can finish my 10,000 hours after I go on a 8,760 hour mission, but as for now I need to leave the ball where it should be... away from me. I still got a long ways away...and I still have stories and adventures I haven't lived yet.
