Casual fun
In casual activities, hobby sports, and games of skill … it’s quite possible to begin feeling entitled to results we haven’t earned.
Because “this should be easy” or “I should be able to it.”
Meanwhile, we might not have worked to develop the requisite skills.
Not being a serious student is perfectly fine. We can be enthusiasts or participants without hard-won mastery.
But when we haven’t put in the work, we really should align our expectations.
And in loosening our grip, it will likely be more fun.
