98% of the things in life really do not matter. Of the 2% there are only 2 or 3 deal breakers.
People with a high level of personal mastery live in a continual learning mode.
They never 'arrive'. Sometimes, language, such as the term 'personal mastery'
creates a misleading sense of definiteness, of black and white. But personal
mastery is not something you possess. It is a process. It is a lifelong
discipline. People with a high level of personal mastery are acutely aware of
their ignorance, their incompetence, their growth areas. And they are deeply
self-confident. Paradoxical? Only for those who do not see the 'journey is the
reward'
