A Philosophical Question:

[WTL]

I really want to hear from the experienced fishermen. The young ones in this case, I don't think know enough about themeselves to be self-critical enough.

What is keeping you from being a great fisherman?


By this question, I am not asking what the "hole in your game" is. That is something different. Its a narrow weakness that can be helped by merely focusing on doing something differently. You can learn to throw a drop shot in a weekend. That aint keeping you from being the guy.

No, I am talking about intrinsic things here.

For me, it is a severe lack of patience. I change lures. I lose concentration. I decide to go on joyrides when I should be buckling down. I waste time.

Now, having said that, I wonder how much we can to change who we are. You take something about yourself and say you see a weakness in your character, sometimes it can still be tough to change. It takes real self discipline I suppose, and focusing on that weakness to the point where you point it out to others, write it down - really wallow in it till the point of where you are sick of it.

So what is holding you back?
