Learn, break away, transcend. This is written on the wall of my husband’s workshop. It originates from a Japanese philosophy. You start by learning from someone, possibly a mentor or a master. You might be part of a group of students.

But there are dangers in that. You can stay stuck and not move forward. If you want to progress, at some point you need to break away. Start doing your own thing. Putting into practice what you were taught but also adapting that to your own style. You need to put some distance between you, your mentor and the rest of the group. You need to transcend and stand alone in your skills.
