EMPOWER YOURSELF:
Towards self-mastery

As a human being, you naturally aspire to achieve
something. You want to be a contribution to your
environment. You want to be of value to people
around you. Of course, in the process you want to
experience joy, happiness, and fulfillment.

However, in order to be effective in giving to
others and the environment, you have to be in
control of yourself. To change the world around
you, for the better, you have to change yourself,
along the way, for the better. You are a work in
progress.

What is self-mastery in relation to your life? This
simply means that you must have balance in, and
between, the major areas of your life: finance and
career, relationships, health, spirituality, and
personal empowerment and recreation. These
are some underlying elements that provide the
foundation for achieving balance in your life:

• Your passion for living. The activities that give
   you joy.
• Your commitment to act consistently to pursue
   your passion.
• The continuous proper daily use of 24 hours.
• Filling your mind with worthwhile information
   and wisdom.
• Keeping company with eagles, and not chickens.
• Keeping your positive and negative emotions
   under control.
• Accept people, and situations, for what they are,
   and you will avoid inner frustration, emotional
   turmoil, worries, and depression.

Self-mastery is not about perfectionism, nor do you
have to be as evolved as Buddha or Jesus to be
self-mastered. Each of us has his/her own unique
way. Your quest is to be the most excellent person
that you can be. Optimize your own uniqueness!
