Personal Mastery, Be the Best You Can Be!
By Walter Staples

People with a high level of personal mastery live in a continual state of learning. This means that they're always "en route" but never actually "arrive." Sometimes others, when seeing people who have reached this level of awareness, assign to these people a sense of superiority, of over-confidence, of finality. But this is incorrect. Personal mastery is not something people "possess." Rather, it is a process, it is a life-long discipline. People with a high level of personal mastery are acutely aware of their ignorance, their limitations, the areas in their life that need more work. They are the ones who see the "journey" as the reward. Personal mastery goes beyond competence and skills, although it involves them; it goes beyond intelligence and learning, although it involves them; it goes beyond spiritual awareness and a spiritual awakening, although it involves them. Personal mastery is a special kind of proficiency. It has nothing to do with conceit and cockiness and everything to do with curiosity and calling. It is based on the firm yet simple belief that people have a personal responsibility to be the best they can be.

"The human mind has no limits,
it has no boundaries, but we need to push ourselves
if we're ever to discover who we really are
and what we're really made of - if we're ever
to unlock the power that lies within."
-- Dr. Walter Doyle Staples
