Superficially it can appear like the world is a very dark place. But the vast majority of people on the planet are good. And want to do good for others.
Because of tech advances like the Internet, smartphones, and mobile apps, you can have extraordinary lifetime experiences on a weekly basis. Experiences your grandparents probably couldn’t even dream of.
The process is everything. You don’t end up a master. You achieve a level of mastery, at which you really start the higher learning. Mastery is not a place, but a process.
Set goals that are so compelling they pull you toward them. Bold, daring, audacious goals create emotion desire in both your subconscious and conscious minds. And when you engage both, you’re going to be motivated to take the daily habits that manifest them.
Mastery comes from confidence. Confidence comes from achieving goals. Achieving goals comes from daily habits. Daily habits are created by the vision you hold.
But self-mastery, like mastery of any kind, means excelling above most others, achieving the highest levels of effort, practice and execution. Being willing to sacrifice to be the best. And once you attain this kind of mastery, it shows.
You will build a reputation as a person with integrity, one who can be counted on. And you will find your opportunities will continually expand and evolve. That is the real journey to self-mastery.
Remember that scene in the original Star Wars movie when Obi Wan says, “These are not the droid you’re looking for,” and the storm trooper says, “These are not the droids we’re looking for.” Lucas portrayed it as a Jedi mind trick, but I bet you know people who have that power.
