Mastery

I was thinking about mastery. Mastery to me is when something is refined by a person to the point of extreme excellence. It has to do with work and practice of any given thing for years and requires persistence. It isn't something you usually consider yourself to be but more a view that a community has o someone due to the efforts they have put forth. Everyone wants to be a master at one thing or another but few ever attain such skill. Why is that? Because they give up? because they were going after the wrong thing? Or maybe because they simply don't practice and refine the details. I don't really have an answer. Just some things to think about. I have a challenge that each person takes on mastering just one simple thing. Anything. Once you have mastered one thing you can then master anything because you can duplicate the process. That's all for now.
