I’ve said it before - mastery is a journey, it is not a destination. While it is an easy concept to understand and agree with, it tends to be a difficult concept to accept. I think our big issue with acceptance is because the average person tends to not accept change. Our bodies and our minds are in constant flux. We are constantly evolving as we continue on our path toward our death. We literally begin our death journey the moment we are conceived. From that point on it is in our nature to grow old, it is in our nature to get sick, and it is in our nature to die.
Ultimately, mastery is a moving target. There is so much of ourselves that changes day to day, our mastery journey is always adapting to our new situation. Knees wear out, injuries pile up, and our mentors pass on while new ones take their place. Change is inevitable and unstoppable. Change is not good and it is not bad. It is just change. It is what we do with the change that determines if it is good or bad and that ultimately determines our mastery journey’s trajectory.
Once mastery is recognized as a never ending journey, the trajectory and sustainability of our journey will become our focus.
