I just finish reading Mastery by Robert Greene. At over a thousand pages, it took over six hours non stop. I put the audio player at the maximum speed where I could still understand what was going on. I have to go to work during the week so I have to wait until the weekend to read a book this long. So far, I have been reading lighter books and have been avoiding the big ones because I am not used to reading this much and I don't want to feel overwhelmed.
So, How was the book itself beside very long. What I got from it is that all the things that I am expecting to accomplish during the next year are completely impossible with my current mindset. Nothing that I can do today is up to the level of my dreams. My only option is to pick a few simple things and do them over and over until I can learn the skills needed to move to the next level. Right now it is past three in the morning, I have just spent over six hours staring at a computer screen, so it is unlikely that I can write anything intelligent here, but I am starting to form some ideas. What I have learned from the book is that big things take time and dedication. I already know this, but also that I need a clear path in my hear as to how I will move forward.
I am falling a sleep here, I will pick this up in the morning.
