Simplified Meaning:

Mastering a skill or area means pushing yourself beyond what is simple and easy. It involves facing complicated and challenging tasks that might make you feel uncomfortable or unsure. For example, think about learning to play a musical instrument. At first, you might practice simple tunes; this is easy but doesn't help you improve much. To really get better, you need to try harder songs that test your limits and make you feel a bit unsure. This process can be uncomfortable, but it's how you truly master the instrument. In your own life, you can apply this by not sticking to only what is easy but by embracing challenges that help you grow and improve.
