Personal Mastery

A journey towards personal improvement! Personal mastery is commitment to truth and understanding the subconscious mind, and great opportunities to improve growth. Personal mastery is about expressing your gifts, loving yourself and understanding your personality. It is not about controlling and limiting yourself or suppressing things, the more you suppress things the more difficulty you have overcoming them. Personal mastery is about self-discipline, taking responsibility for the direction your life is going. Discipline will clarify and deepen your perspective in life, which in turn will help you develop patience and see life objectively. Personal mastery enables you to be inspired, energized and be happy with your life. Personal mastery will help you understand your talents, strengths and your purpose in life, which will help you become successful in life. We must develop humility, integrity and justice; these are rules on how to conduct ourselves socially, professionally and spiritually. There are no shortcuts toward mastery it can take a lifetime; we must detach ourselves from selfishness and work toward providing care and service to other people, when we do that we start to see more of the surroundings and perceive everything as a whole. Personal mastery will help a person be proactive rather than reactive. Personal mastery guides you to develop being aware with your beliefs, attitudes and what your behavior impacts. It enables you to accept yourself and be responsible for your own actions, attitude, and thought.

What is said here is not something that has not been said before, but is defiantly been on my road for quite a few years, and there is still a quite a ways to go yet.

A person has to remember that the road to personal mastery is a very bumpy one, it is a thought changing process and keeping the goal of achieving personal mastery in front of you is a long. Changing your attitude and changing the way a person has dealt with situations in the past is tuff. Always keep the right now and the future in front of you because that is the only part of time you have control of, the past cannot be changed. Personal mastery cannot be achieved alone; a person needs friends and life coaches along the way. One must always strive to improve so as not to become stagnant.

What a Day

The start of this year UBBT has not been off to a very good start. January 25 not a good day. January 24, symptoms, which I thought was the start of a bad stomach flue. Morning of January 25 went to hospital diagnosed with appendicitis by 10:00 AM. Doctor who diagnosed me sends out a message to all surrounding hospitals in and around Edmonton to find a surgeon that has time to do an emergency surgery. At this time I was not sure what hospital I would end up at, with the pain relievers through intervenes at that time, I didn’t really care. Ambulanced to St. Albert hospital by 1300 hrs. In the operating room by 1700 hrs, awake by 1900 hrs. Wow what a day. Tried some modified pus-ups and crunches a couple of days ago, not to smart a little to early for that. Am working on forms of a somewhat nature. Should be back up to speed in another month.

Your Being

Does helping others give meaning to your life? Could this mean that you have to depend on others being worse off than yourself so that your life can continue to be meaningful and you can feel good about yourself? Does making it only mean something, as long as there are millions of other people who do not? Do you need other people to fail in order for your life to have meaning? Is the purpose for helping others surface or exterior, to make a good impression on other people, this is not lasting time will fade the purpose! If the purpose comes from the inner being then it is genuine, if it’s not the ego will take over then the original intent will slip away. The saying the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Meaning it’s not your aims or your actions but it is where and how the thoughts come from, your surface being or your inner being.
