Your road to personal mastery can be long and winding. And it can be a frustrating process.
GenuLines has been on this road before, and today we’ll make some of the “stops” along the way.
What Is Personal Mastery?
Personal mastery is about approaching life in a different way. People sometimes refer to it as a journey towards continuous improvement.
Certain key principles can guide you. These include vision, purpose, creative tension, and commitment to truth.
Add to those an understanding of the subconscious mind.
Vision
One of the most important fundamental aspects of personal mastery is personal vision. Combine these two and you get a guiding philosophy.
This can be your operating system throughout life. Supplement with books, tapes, and courses for continued growth.
Personal mastery is about loving yourself and expressing your gifts to the fullest. It’s not about control or limiting yourself.
The more you suppress things the tougher it is to overcome them.
Take Responsibility
Personal mastery is self-discipline. It’s about taking responsibility for the direction that your life is going to take.
You come to realize that you can do anything with the aide of your skills and talents. Discipline can clarify and deepen your perspective in life.
And it can help you develop patience and a healthy view of life.
See The Signs
Personal mastery can actually help you become successful in life. A sign of progress is starting to understand your strengths, talents, and purpose in life.
Personal mastery makes you inspired, energized and happy with your life. You start to show a sense of commitment in changing on how people perceive life and the world.
Important qualities to include on your journey are integrity, humility, justice, and industry.
A Long Road
Reaching personal mastery has no shortcuts or no quick fixes. The process can take a lifetime.
You’ll detach from self-interest or selfishness. You’ll encourage people to care about and serve others.
And you’ll see the connections in your surroundings and everything in general as a whole.
Proactive behavior is another product of personal mastery. You base your actions and services on maximizing your skills in a creative way.
Summary
Personal mastery guides you to awareness of your beliefs, attitudes and behavioral impacts. It also enables self acceptance, and responsibility for your action, attitude, and thought.
It’s living with integrity and purpose. And it’s all tied together with your ideals, standards, and behavior
