The gap
You know exactly how it should look.
The shape of it lives clearly in your mind.
Then you try.
And your hands betray you.
The gap between knowing and doing is brutal.
It makes you feel like a fraud.
Like the vision is a lie you're telling yourself.
This is where most people stop.
They decide the gap means something about them.
It doesn't.
It just means your hands haven't caught up yet.
And they won't unless you keep going.
Every master you admire once stood here.
Frustrated. Clumsy.
Wondering if they had it in them.
They didn't skip the gap.
They just refused to let it be the end.
You know exactly how it should look. Your hands just haven't caught up yet. The gap between knowing and doing is where mastery hides.
