The period between starting something new, growing, and mastering it, is Craptivity.
That period of living at the bottom of the chart, trying to figure things out, starting, stopping, and failing is where we all live, in whatever we are doing.
It is the hardest stage of growth you will ever experience because there is no time limit on it (how nice would it be to know what your expected effort and outcome is in that arena) and what you do in it, is completely up to you.
There is no time limit, there is no maximum or minimum investment, what you get out of it is up to you, how long you spend in there is up to you, what you learn, what you come out of it with, is up to you.
It’s all up to you.
