Practice Makes Greatness

Scott Smith - Motivation and Coaching
About this episode

Practice Makes Greatness

It’s been said that Practice makes perfect. 

That might be true if you were able to practice perfectly. If that were the case, why would you need to practice?

Practice does not make perfect. Practice makes permanent. 

Practice bad thinking, and you will get all the bad thoughts you could ever want.

Practice makes permanent.

Practice bad manners and are sure to get better at being rude.

Practice makes permanent.

Practice bad relationship skills, and you are guaranteed to miss out on the best life has to offer.

Practice makes permanent.

It is always that way, it will never change, and you can harness its power.

Practice being positive, forward-thinking, and believing that life is good. That’s what you will get.

Practice being a good person that is always thinking of others. You will find yourself surrounded by good people.

Practice being present, respectful, and loving in your relationships. You will never be alone.

Yes, practice makes permanent, but it also makes for greatness.
