Ever wondered why some people seem to be annoyingly good, or ‘lucky’ in everything they do? The truth is far less mysterious than it looks, and it begins with one powerful thing: a choice!
I call it the ‘MASTERY MINDSET’
Here’s an old Samurai maxim that I love and which has guided me in life:
“A man who has attained mastery of an art reveals it in his every action.”
When you put your energy into mastering something and truly give it all, this creates a ripple effect. That commitment and pride in your work tends to spill over into everything else you do.
– It boosts your confidence
– Sharpens your focus
– Sets a standard for how you approach life in general
If this makes sense and you’re wondering where to start, don’t worry about trying to master everything…
Just focus on one thing. One discipline, one craft and from there, let it shape how you move through the world.
