Mastery Every Day, All The Time

Masters are constantly learning, doing and teaching.

I am grateful for my mentors and role models.

I am grateful for having clear basic understandings in my basic arenas. What a blessing!

I am grateful for a tribe of people willing to actually work on themselves, and understand that the majority of life is just “chop wood, carry water.” And take joy in it.

If I have all three, my success in life is 100% guaranteed, because if I am grateful, I am joyful. If I am joyful, I am ALREADY WINNING, since most people believe they will be “joyful” or “feel gratitude” if they get the thing they are working for.

They have it precisely backwards. Take joy in being the person who can do the things that maximize your chances of reaching the goal. Then, not only do you start where others end, but you also increase your chances of entering flow, and a non-dualistic state of focus, which is the doorway to that union of conscious and unconscious that is about the last thing you can do to optimize your odds of a “genius” level breakthrough.

You cannot PREDICT breakthroughs, except statistically, stochastically, by nurturing the ODDS of producing them by being in a high-energy, fertile, focused flow state.

There are things you can control. Call them “dogs”.

Then there are things that exist, that we experience, that we cannot control. Call them “cats.”
